  1. Wow - very pretty and very exotic looking! I love botanical gardens. They are so relaxing and full of beauty.

  2. Looks like some kind of bromeliad. Do you know if it was?

  3. I don’t know. I was being rushed as there was a bad storm coming in the next day and we had just decided to hit the road a half a day early to head back home, so I didn’t really look at the names of the plants.
