Miami Area Resources

From: Albert Huntington BALBERTH at yahoo.com> on 2000.09.07 at 19:05:15(5367)
Aroiders,
I believe this topic may have come up before, but as responses tend to be
private and therefore not archived, I am asking it again.
After talking to some of us who will be traveling from afar to the Miami area
for the IAS Show and Sale, I know that many of us are trying to figure out
where else in the Miami area we might want to visit should we happen to have
any cash left after the Show and Sale.
Could some of the many Floridians on the list suggest some nurseries to visit
in the Miami area, keeping in mind that a lot of us are no doubt interested in
various rare/exotic plants, and not exclusively Aroids?
Some suggestions in the past have been: Dewey Fisk's place, Palm Hammock
Orchid Estate, Zone Ten nursery. I am hoping to see some more in the same
vein.

Thanks in advance.
--Albert

Yes,
I agree with Albert. I'd like to visit some gardens/greenhouses/growers too. Please include addresses or locations if you have any ideas.

PS. A friend is meeting me there, and wants to do some snorkeling in the Keys Sunday or Monday if anyone wants to join us. *Warning* I am very prone to seasickness!

this reply is from florida's better ceast. if you've read 'the orchid
thief,' you might want to explore the fakahatchee strand state park near
naples [and if you haven't read the orchid thief, shame on you] as well as
the corkscrew swamp sanctuary.

Dear Aroiders:
Many of you are asking about places in South Florida to visit while you
are here for the Show and Sale. In the South Miami-Dade County area
there are many nurseries but If you are into Orchids you should call RF
Orchids (305) 245-4570 and make plans to visit one of the premiere
orchids nurseries in South Florida. Not far away is the Fruit and Spice
Park. And, although Silver Krome Gardens is a wholesale Foliage Plant
Nursery any member of the Aroid Society is welcome to come by and visit
during the week of the show as long as you call and make an
appointmen... I am not always in and the nursery is not open on
Weekends. I will try and check around and see what else there is to
visit. If you have some special interests let me know but please do not
ask me about dwarf Strelitzias because I know very little about that
subject.

I have wanted to go to Ernestos for years when visiting the IAS Show in
Miami BUT... Ernestos is always closed on this weekend for inventory or
something. They have never been open when the IAS show has been on.
If this has changed let me know I would like to go too.
