Gaylord Palms Tour.

Spent Wednesday touring with a fellow Aglaonema breeder from India. We went to the Gaylord Palms hotel to check out their atrium. It was about 2 acres under a glass roof that about 10 stories above. There were many nice plantings of different foliage plants that included great mixtures of foliar color and texture. I was especially impressed with the use of texture. There even was a lagoon with baby gators and turtles.

One of my hybrid aglaonemas (Silver Bay) was planted in several different areas. Overall the plants and planting design were better than the $20 lunch buffet. It was well worth the trip and probably would be even more impressive to tourists who did not deal with foliage plants on a daily basis.

Several photos will be shared in later posts.
