Post #6307926

With the water shortage, I am gradually changing to succulents wherever a water-guzzler needs replacing. I found TROPIFLORA, here in Sarasota. (On Tallevast, between 301 and I-75.)

Frankly, I was not prepared for the expanse and breadth of their nursery. They have only about twenty acres, and much of it is under cover.

We were looking for succulents, but their bromeliads and orchids were spectacular, and most enticing. We could not ignore the tremendous order they had set aside for shipment to Singapore. Some of those plants are magnificent !!!

We managed to gather a few specimens -- and would have taken more if we had the space. They are gorgeous!

They are having a thing they call a FESTIVAL, April 3-5. They promise food and drinks -- but just wandering through their nursery would be treat enough. We'll try to get there.
