The Beauty of a Fountain in Miami, Florida
and another reason why I love Miami!
These flowers were just too pretty not to share. They are from a charming fountain at the Kampong in Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida. I wish I knew the names of each of these flowers. Perhaps someone does?
The Kampong is sometimes referred to as South Florida's Secret Garden. It is a registered historic site and one of the five gardens and five preserves of NTBG (National Tropical Preserve Garden).
Nestled within the old section of Coconut Grove on Biscayne Bay, the Kampong is an eleven-acre botanical garden replete with exotic plantings from Southeast Asia, Central and South America, the Caribbean and other tropical locations. The gardens as well as the structures and various garden sculptures of the Kampong have an unmistakable Asian motive. In fact the name "Kampong" reportedly means "village" in Malaysian.
It was a delight to behold within the urban surroundings of Miami; well worth a visit. Note: advance reservations required!
