Part two Naples Botanical Gardens ... Trees and Bromiliads

While wandering through the gardens I was impressed by their identification of the plants on display. There are 6 large gardens, Asian, Florida, Caribbean, Brazilian, Water Garden and Children Garden. The plants range from the exotic to tomato plants with dozens of varieties of Bromeliads and orchids. We were lucky to see many of these in bloom.

under it identified it as a pine tree
