On the way back up from the Keys I stopped by www.HFImports.com at the recommendation of Sawgrass.
Great place and great deals to be had. I wish I had more time and money to spend there that day. Would need the cap on my truck to bring home all I wanted.
Picked up a Fukien Tea for 28 bucks and a 15 dollar Serisa. Both blooming tiny white flowers. Hope I can keep them happy in Ohio. I would have rather stayed down south too... Poor trees in frozen Ohio now.

I was surprised how big the trees were. Most over 3 ft tall. The first pic in the second post is a Willow Leaf Ficus group. Over 4ft wide. Loved it and the Brazilian Rain Tree best.
The Bonsai are only a small side exhibit in the gardens.
The gardens are great in and outdoors. Tropical rain forest in greenhouse and natural Florida with huge Banyans, palms, desert area w/cactus, mangroves and bamboo... 20 bucks to get in. Needed more time and a warmer day to enjoy.
