Himalayan Pines

One of my favorite things to see in the National Botanical Garden were the stands of Pinus wallichiana (Himalayan Pine). Although these beautiful trees are now grown around the world and can be seen as treasured specimens in many public gardens, seeing them in their native range was quite exciting. I was subsequently able to see quite a few of them during my time in Nepal...
