I love visiting Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables. Today I was there for the 24th Annual Mango Festival featuring Cuban mangoes. Highlights were learning more about the history of the mango in Cuba, seeing tropical plants that I have not seen since a visit to the Amazon Rainforest, the Lignum Vitae in flower (purple flower) which I have not seen in flower and hearing a lecture from Noris Ledesma (Curator of tropical fruit at Fairchild Gardens). I am so glad I went. WOW, an amazing day!
Wow!!! Sounds like you really enjoyed the mango festival. I love mangos also. Fresh mango salsa the best!!! Thanks for sharing.
What a fun day! That tree was planted a month before Melissa was born.
Only one question for you…what happened to your beard??
Visiting those gardens will be on my "must" list for my next visit! Sounds like a beautiful place.
