Default RF: A Visitor to the Garden

This little guy is *not* a statue. They imported him from the alligator
farm, and will return him before he gets too big to handle. Meanwhile, he is
happily sunning himself on the edge of the fish pond.

Default RF: Assorted Pics of the Grounds

The mature plantings were something to behold. If you look to the left of
the big Epi, you'll see a chickee hut.

What would a property be without a giraffe? And the pool is mere steps from
a large patio with a bar and a grill.

Some of us would have been quite content to be left behind when the caravan
left!

Well, Wendy, if you are going to come down for the WOC, RF is quite close
by, so you can see it then!

Very nice tour, Diana. Right now the tropical life sounds enticing!

Tropical indeed! It's going down into the 30's here tonight, according to
reports, so we have brought all the Vandas inside, as well as the Phals.
Everything else is sheeted up. Of course, it's usually a false alarm, and we
only get down to 45 or so. Can't take the chance, though. The pool is warmer
than the air!

Global warming, pffft! We never used to get so cold in winter here.

Working on this Diana, it's never a problem, as my hubby is always ready
to travel, I am the one that likes to stay home.
I remember going to the Redlands show & also visiting RF but not like your tour!

RF does tours for the public at given times during the day. Before you come
down, check on the times to make your plans (see? I'm assuming you'll be
here!).

Wonderful tour. g How brilliant to leave your camera at home so you
could fully enjoy the sights, without a worry about camera settings.

Lots of people think that RF deals exclusively with Vandaceous plants, but
they do quite a bit more. Vandas are what they are famous for, but take a
look at the Phal house!

where is the phal house? is it on the same grounds as the retail
part...? (that's all i saw when i was there--bob was about to lead a
tour, and i was in a hurry otherwise i would have tagged along. i
should have.
