Love flowers and exotic plants? Go on a natural escape to one of the best botanical gardens in the U.S., according to the Travel Channel.

Visitors to the U.S. Botanic Garden view the large rainforest plant known as Titan Arum, or “corpse flower,” July 22, 2013, in Washington, D.C. The corpse flower, native to Sumatra, Indonesia, is known for its unpleasant aroma and usually blooms for only one or two days.
