I was lucky enough to spend an incredible evening at Mike's immaculate garden in Broward County, Florida. I believe he has over 700 species of palms and it's overwhelming. You can walk through it over and over again and see new things each time! Anyways, here are the photos! 

To see the complete album, click HERE

First, here is a tribute to the native flora of the area. A beautiful Quercus virginiana (Live Oak) adorned with an amazing array of epiphytes.

The other thing I’m thinking looking at this photo is “Where the hell are there properties this size in Broward county?”  It’s practically as big as the whole county lol

Great photos of an amazing place!


I am so lucky to have visited Mike’s place too and any plant lover should never turn down such an invitation. 

It is like stepping into another world.
