Especially the cactus & succulents, with some much variety. I enjoyed the trip through you, thank you. I can't wait for the new season of shows to start.

The Angel Plants greenhouses were absolutely wonderful. What a fascinating place to visit and see such a fabulous variety of beautiful plants from cacti to all kinds of ferns. I have some of them, but saw so many I have never seen before. Thanks so much for this fantastic field trip.

They look like a wonderful operation. If we can ever offer you a tour of Terra Nova Nurseries outside Portland, Oregon, or Overdevest Nurseries / Garden Splendor in NJ, feel free to let me know. You'd possibly enjoy visiting Terra Nova Nurseries and seeing how the breeders there actually develop new varieties of breath-taking heuchera, tiarella, coreopsis, and others. The folks at Overdevest Nurseries cultivate salvia, phlox, sedum, and others. The breeders and growers are fascinating to meet. Thanks for blogging about the ones you recently met.

Angel Plants nursery definitely looks like any Florida nursery with all the tropical plants but I don’t see fern that often here although Home Depot has some. I like the macho fern too and philodendron is nice; I have a different kind in the front yard that gets huge so I’m constantly cutting it down. I have not had luck at all with cycads and I find croton to be a slow grower but once they get their roots dug in they are a nice specimen. I need to get more but I hate waiting for them to get up to around 3 ft. I probably should give them more fertilizer! Nice aerial shot, hope you weren’t hanging out the door of a helicopter! Thanks again for your informative and colorful blogs! Trish Hi Martha,

An idea for your magazine or tv show: a visit to Mill Grove, John James Audubon's former home. I love to hike the grounds with my digital camera. The views from the porch of the house over the river, and the flora and fauna are outstanding, right out of an Audubon print. I know you would love the barn, the gardens and the ruins of the old mill as well. What a fabulous selection!
