Fortunately there was still a flower left on the tree to use to confirm its identity. You can read more about the process I went through to identify the plant in my most recent posting on our blog:<br />http://thebotanicgardensatkonakai.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Glad to see so much interest in our Gardens! We hope you all will consider staying at Kona Kai and touring the gardens on your next trip to the Keys!<br /><br />Rick Hederstrom<br />Associate DirectorThe Botanic Gardens at Kona Kai Resorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067989939562688620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453240984293111218.post-87625069759312597982011-01-27T00:38:47.898+00:002011-01-27T00:38:47.898+00:00What a wonderful place.

Is it possible we will really bring something special to the Florida Keys and our hotel visitors - something that tickles their hearts and engenders love for our plant friends - I hope so. That is what our entire staff, along with our ethnobotanist Rick Hederstrom, will be working toward this decade! Our March "opening" is in celebration of our 20th anniversary - find us on Facebook and the web.

I just love the concept of beautiful plantings for everyone at a resort ... on every plot at every place of business, along highways, in parking lots, in every corner of the earth.
