Thanks; Linda is a big Julia Child fan, and this particular exhibit is a must everytime she's in D.C.
****If you're just joining us today, this part of the puzzle has been solved, but you're welcome to follow along and see where this part of the puzzle went... and in fact... you should, the next couple of puzzles were very challenging and you can get a sense of how to play this game by seeing how we ask for clues....****
Here's something a little harder I suspect. Where is this lily pond? The surrounding grounds were created by a rich industrialist who loved nature, and wanted people to share that love with him. The family name is very famous, but this guy wasn't in the core family business.

To get this shot I had to get down on my knees, hold my camera (with fisheye lens) out as far as I could to get it as close to the flower as possible... with one thumb and three fingers trying to keep from dropping the Nikon in the soup while hitting the shutter button with the fourth finger.

Reason: explanation for first-timers....
Let's see drawing from the fact that your most recent photos on another thread were from Philly.... Is this Pierre du Pont's house near Kennett Square, PA?
Also known as Longwood Gardens? If so, here's a map of the showing the lily pond....
Do you know what I think of whenever I hear Kennett Square, PA? Mushrooms!
Swung through there on the way from Philly to Rockville, MD.
While most people think "chemicals" when they hear DuPont, Pierre was involved in more things than that.
Prior to buying DuPont with his brother to take it private, he worked in management at a steel mill. After running DuPont for about four years, he was President and/or CEO of General Motors from 1915 to 1929.
