    Default The botanical garden in Largo FL

    We went to a local botanical garden and even before I got in the door I had my first suprise....
    Growing on a tree (label still attached), was our local Enclyclia Tapensis, along with airplants galore.

    As you enter the welcome center a pond with Koi swimming around catches your eye....the white dendrobiums were dotted here and there around it.
