The trials and tribulations of establishing a tropical garden in Miami Beach, and whatever else inspires me.

Amaryllis Flowers
This was my first year growing Amaryllis. I was impressed with the size of the flowers. Hopefully they will be even more spectacular next year.
Orange Dendrobium Thyrsiflorum Orchid
This has to be one of the most incredible orchid flowers I have ever seen. I bought this Dendrobium Thyrsiflorum orchid at RF Fuchs about 5 years ago, it never flowered before, but patience paid off this year. The cluster of flowers are about 14'' x 4.5''. We had unusually cold weather this year. Dendrobium thyrsiflorum likes colder winters than we typically have in Miami, so this may be the reason for the incredible bloom.
