Fairchild Gardens photos (final episode)

[FloridaGreenMan]

For those of you who have not been to Fairchild, it is a well worth a visit for the incredible beauty that exists there. There are not huge numbers of fruits trees but enough to make it interesting and the palm and flowering tree collections are world class. The Brownea flower is the size of a large head of lettuce.

oh ok. No problem. I think I've seen those flowers at the Broward college Central Campus. I think it's a cannon ball tree.

Funny how the cannonball flowers smell so heavenly and the fruits stink like hell! 
I planted a couple trees anyway, but the rose beetles are munching the leaves like crazy. Anybody know a good organic repellent that will stick through rain?
