We visited this lovely garden today on our way back from Tampa.
We enjoyed the Koi in the pond
and the watearfall.
The garden was in the midst of a tribute to Paul Gauguin's trips to Tahiti.
The plants were tropical--Bird of Paradise, for example.
And banana plants, too.
We imagined ourselves in Tahiti, but the temperatures
were in the 70s--and not as tropical as we've been experiencing.
It was a really pleasant day to explore a rainforest, a bamboo grove,
a fern garden and coconut palm groves along Sarasota Bay.
The orchids and bromeliads were incredible.
This botanical garden is famous for its epiphytes,
plants that grow on other plants
without harming them.
