Morning Eye Candy: One More Shot!

Posted in Photography on February 24 2014, by Matt Newman

While Tropical Paradise has officially called it quits to make room for this Saturday’s opening of The Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary, our Tropical Paradise Photography Contest is still running for the remainder of this week. This Friday, February 28, is the last day that we’ll accept submissions before we close our doors for final deliberations, so be sure and get your photos up on our Flickr group before then!

Morning Eye Candy: Fine Jewelery

Posted in Photography on February 21 2014, by Matt Newman

I’m resigning myself, happily, to the flood of orchid photos we’ll be seeing from Ivo over the next couple of months. Everything from the boisterous moth orchids you know so well to elegant jewelry like this, an epiphytic orchid that grows on mossy trees in the Philippines.

Members, if you ever have a chance to join us for one of our occasional tours of the Nolen Greenhouses, think of it as your golden ticket to a fantastical plant paradise.

Morning Eye Candy: Color to Come

I know everything beyond your window is likely a wash of winter’s best efforts right now, but the color will find its way back soon.

Morning Eye Candy: Lincoln’s Lovely Legacy

Posted in Photography on February 17 2014, by Matt Newman

Happy Presidents’ Day from one of my favorite lilacs, ‘President Lincoln’! It’s not blooming yet, of course (expect to see and smell these lovelies in mid-April), but when it does I’ll be sure to shout about it. We’re open to the public today and kicking off our week-long Culinary Kids Food Festival, so don’t be shy!
