Caladium Capital of the World by danette

Caladium Capital of the World

Lake Placid, FL is known for their caladiums. This is a mural of one of their fields. I just ordered some more bulbs from one of their farmers.
Very pretty mural. Enjoy your new plants, Danette.

That is a beautiful mural! Do they still grow leather leaf ferns in Apopka?

@marlboromaam I don't know! I have actually been to Apopka only once in my life. Imagine that.

Beautiful capture! Imagine if it was real.

@danette Oh well. It's okay. My ex was born and raised there.

@kwind I have seen them in person and they are far more impressive. They just go on and on and on.

@marlboromaam perhaps this is your answer: "Around 1912 the main industry due to the great climate was growers planting ferns. It affectionately was called "Fern City". As the area began to expand and various other tropical plants were being planted by the growers, it wasn't long before the other foliage outgrew the fern industry and Apopka was then known as "The Indoor Foliage Capital of the World".

I have been wondering where the Caladium Capital of the World was. Nice photo by the way. The real dirt in the foreground adds a touch of reality to the mural.

@mbrutus you never know what questions are lingering out there ready to be answered!

@danette That's why we all keep coming back to 365, I guess.
