“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.💚

The legendary jaboticaba or Brazilian grape tree, Plinia cauliflora, is now fruiting for the first time in the Children's Garden. This tree earns its species name "cauliflora" since its trunk does indeed produce lovely flowers and then beautiful fruits. 💚
