We visited a local “historic gardens” today; Nehrling Gardens created at the end of the 19th century by Henry Nehrling – he came to Florida from Wisconsin because he wanted a year round garden! He apparently specialized in Caladium plants, and the garden trust is slowly re-establishing a variety of them but for now they are not as impressive as they must once have been.
He built a home on a small part of the 40 acre lot that he purchased; that lot has been divided many times since, but the home is still in the gardens:
Most impressive to me were the Bamboo plants; one cluster (“Golden Bamboo” – second and third picture) was huge!
Also impressive how fungus is taking over dead wood:
The Gardens are also less than a mile from a great BBQ place, Yellow Dog Eats, so of course we finished our visit with lunch there:

This looks like an amazing place to go to!!
