Davie Florida is a quaint, western themed town with epic drainage issues. It was founded on land that was largely underwater, and they have been struggling to reverse that situation ever since. The upside to this unfortunate circumstance is that Davie features easy access to Florida's Everglades, some of the most spectacular wetlands in America. The town of Davie has some very nice amenities and destinations (Davie is where you can find the training facilities of the Miami Dolphins!), but I have to say that the most compelling reason to visit Davie is the Flamingo Gardens - an amazing wildlife preserve where one can find ibises, storks, herons, flamingos (naturally), and other birds frolicking amongst the rich and diverse plant life, all while trying to avoid being devoured by alligators. What more could you ask for?Strictly speaking, Flamingo Gardens is a wildlife sanctuary, aviary, and botanical garden. It started as the private collection of one Floyd L. Wray in 1933 as a small collection of subtropical trees and shrubs, and, over time, grew to the magnificent state that it is in today.

A delightfully bizarre group of plants, the bromeliads have long starred in botanical garden exhibits, attracting attention with their brilliant blooms and their neat rosette; of foliage _often so shiny that they appeal to have been varnished.Many can be classed as succulents be cause they often store an emergency supply of water; not inside fleshy leaves as true succulents do, but in a natural, vase-shaped center formed by their durable foliage.Natives of the tropical forests of Central and South America, bromeliads fall into two distinct groups: terrestrials, which grow in soil or between rocks; and epiphytes, which are (like some orchid varieties) tree dwellers. Many of the plants in the second group can exist for long periods of time without roots, as long as they receive moisture from reservoirs in their leaf bases.Despite their exotic appearance and curious growth habits, bromeliads are considered to be exceptionally easy to grow.When you buy one of these ornamental members of the pineapple family, you may think it needs repotting.
