For the first time, Aristolochia salvadorensis ‘Darth Vader Flower’ will be available for purchase at the Spring Plant Sale this weekend! 💚
.
This is a fascinating shrub from Central America that produces the amazing 'Darth Vader flower'. These flowers look like masks with two prominent round 'eyes' and a serious 'nose'. These strange flowers are also held in a strange way: horizontal shoots grow out of the base of the plant and the flowers lay on the ground. Its leaves are long and narrow and its maximum height in nature is 11ft, but it is likely to be smaller in South Florida. It can be pruned to taste and kept small. It is an understory plant and does best in part shade. So far it is growing well outdoors in South Florida and thrives in our conservatory 💚

And then there were three! 🥰 Don’t miss this rare Ghost Orchid, blooming right now in our conservatory. It is named for its hard-to-see roots which blend in with the surroundings, creating the illusion that the flowers are floating like ghosts. These orchids are so rare because they can only be pollinated by the giant sphinx moth and can only grow if their seeds land on a tree trunk covered in a specific type of moss. Cultivating ghosts orchids is extremely difficult, but after three years of expert care, this beauty is in full bloom! 💚 congratulations @brettjestrow

It’s another beautiful day at the Garden and this Phaius ‘Lady Ramona Harris’ is in full bloom in our Whitman Pavilion. Lady Ramona produces upright flower spikes that can stretch up to 2-3 feet tall. This terrestrial orchid prefers to be in low to medium light and to be watered at the roots which need to be kept evenly moist.💚

“Never be satisfied with what you know, only with what more you can find out.” - David Fairchild

Today, on his birthday, we celebrate the great Dr. David Fairchild and thank him for all of his work as an explorer and botanist. Dr. Fairchild traveled around the world in search of plants and crops to bring to
America. Lucky for us, his expeditions led to amazing discoveries. In fact, many of the foods we enjoy today, are thanks to Dr. Fairchild; avocados, mangos, nectarines, pistachios, soybean, dates, and more! 🥭 🥑 🍊 Dr. Fairchild is also responsible for the introduction of more than 200,000 garden plants into the United States. 🌱 Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden was established to showcase some of the most important plants Dr. Fairchild collected. 💚

This beautiful Orange geiger tree, Cordia sebestena, is one of 120 plants which make up the Fairchild #OnLincoln initiative. Together with @lincolnrd we have reimagined the landscape on Lincoln Road, providing public, smartphone-accessible interpretation of the plants.💚
.
The Orange geiger is a tough native tree that makes a great urban street tree in the tropics, growing slowly to a height of 30 feet. It blooms with attractive bright orange flowers throughout the year, especially in summer. Its stiff, dark green leaves are rough and hairy, feeling much like sandpaper.💚
.
Be sure to visit Lincoln Road and explore over 120 plants with QR-coded signs which have been installed on trees, palms, and orchids, connecting you to plant-specific information and media.💚
