Miami Zoo palms and other flora and fauna

Recommended Posts

I chose a great day to visit the Miami Zoo this past week.  Heavy rain in the morning kept crowds away and then the sun appeared. Hardly anyone there, nice views to the exhibits and even the animals seemed relaxed without all the commotion.

I appreciate how the subtropical climate In Miami allows the plantings to appear so authentic (or at least convincing) to the accompanying native environments of the zoo animals.  Photos of Palms and other Tropicals below. Fauna follows at end.

FYI many of these trees, a large number of them which are flowering were planted by the FLOWERING TREE SOCIETY of South Florida 

You are welcome.  And thank you for that information on the FLOWERING TREE SOCIETY of South Florida ; you guys do a fantastic job at the zoo.  What a great way to showcase trees and other tropical plants along with the main animal attractions.  The entrance allee of Cuban royal palms is striking.
