Tagging, Day 2

As it turns out, Day 2 will also be in Homestead, FL. I've got several appointments lined up including Danny's Nursery, Power Bloom Farm, The Jungle, and Acosta Farms (container division).

At the first stop, Danny's Nursery, I spied these fantastic clipped Ficus trees. Normally I don't venture into the formal, clipped territory but they will be perfect to help recreate the look of the mai dat from the Royal Palace in Bangkok, Thailand. Danny's also had several Ficus 'Alii' ranging from 8-11' and 2 types of Jasmine (J. sambac and Murraya).

The second stop was just as exciting as they carried 4 cultivars of Bougainvillea on 72" trellises, 7-9 ball Eugenia pom poms, and a great crop of Gardenia. 3 great scores for creating the ambiance in the tropical forest village area!

Both The Jungle and Acosta Farms Container Divison had some of the plants that we'll fill in with but I'm still on the hunt for the big trees. -KD
