Racing toward the Airport

Wednesday morning was spent traveling North to the Apopka area (near Orlando) and shopping at two great fern / foliage producers. First stop was Central Florida Fern - gorgeous ferns including my favorite - Heart Fern. Many other ferns were secured including Antenna Fern, ET Fern, Upsidedown Fern, Crested Polly Fern and Possum Footed Fern.

The next stop - Milestone Foliage had these amazing Cordyline 'Chocolate Queen' ...hmmm...not for the tropical forest but maybe for an upcoming Fall Show?




















As I was leaving Apopka, racing to return the rental car and make the flight at the Orlando Airport, I saw a mirage in the middle of an industrial park. A field of Asian pottery! Could it be true? I circled a few times and yes, it was truly a parking lot full of pottery. I stopped and was able to make the contact to purchase beautiful pots and water jars for our exhibit.

Definitely a successful mission with over 1,200 miles put on the rental car!
