Bok Tower: they do a lot with Bromeliads and Cycads
You've got to love that Tillandsia screen! Actually the horticulture is very good in this garden including both maintenance and design. While it's clear that the vast majority of the plantings are original, including the backbone plants, there are accents here and there that must represent contributions of current gardeners. Hey, I can remember when some of them were introduced. It doen't have that stale dated feel that occasionally comes through in period gardens where the original plants have outgrown the design.
