Default Going to Florida -- AOS photos

Hi all,

Would like to know, with so many Floridians here, if you all know of any interesting places in East coast Florida to visit. I will be going down there tomorrow, West Palm beach area. I will return next Sunday.

Thanks.

P.S., I hope you all have a great week!!

Here are a couple places. You would love both. You can take I95 to both. (Look out for our crazy drivers)

AOS on Jog Road, Delray Beach. They are also located in with the Morikami Park. (South of Atlantic Ave. West side of street). About 20 - 30 minutes from WPB. Take Atlantic Exit off 95 head West to Jog turn left (South)

The Butterfly World located on Sample Road just West of the turnpike. (Tradewinds Park)(Pompano Beach) Take Sample Rd Exit off 95 Head West. Not very far to just past the turnpike you can't miss it. Well marked. About 30-40 minutesfrom WPB.

LOL. I'm in the Boca area also and it can't be stressed enough that Florida has the worst drivers....never have seen anything like it! They're all Kamikaze!

This is my first post here so hello to you and everyone else. I've been a member of another orchid forum for the last year and so involved with it that I forgot there's more than one out there. I'm an orchid-holic, help grow miltassias, brassias, and intergeneric oncidiums, cattleyas, phals and paphs and everything else that catches my eye....I'm not prejudice!

I'm going to have a look around this forum this week when I get a little more time.

In the meantime, happy growing everyone.

I agree with Larraine...if you're gonna be in the WPB area, you should stop by the AOS and also check out the museum right next door (on the same property).

If you can possibly take a ride over to Homestead, you'll find many growers there. If you go, try to get a tour at RF Orchids...it's not to be missed! Simply stunning!!!

Yes, it's the AOS Headquarters. I was there a few months ago and it was very nice to see

Here's a link to their site regarding visits there:
