Palms of the Miami biennial in 150 photos

Featured Replies

Jack, just echoing the sentiments of a job well done. I especially like the flow of the photos by location and biennial days. Armchair palm voyeurism at its best.

Trinidad!  Southernmost island in the Caribbean.

So many plants, So little space.

Thank you Jack for shearing, really great photos, and I know the effort you put to each one. Nice to meet you at the biennal, regards.

Thanks for the great comments! Including all of those that I've missed over the past couple years... It was a great biennial with a lot of fantastic palms!

Just reading this over a decade later, what an amazing primer on the palms of the Caribbean. Thank you so much Jack. Hope to see you at a biennial one day again.

Thanks so much Andy for bumping this topic.

Truly professional photos. 
 

I loved this Biennial (and every trip after it). All different, all memorable.

Next stop was Fairchild, which had a few decent plants to look at... I actually ended up spending most of the day in the Caribbean section, so I didn't see most of the gardens. Maybe next time I'm in Miami...

I spent easily 30 minutes by those Copernicia rigidas my first visit. Hard to get in-depth with whole place in a day
