Beautiful, huge live oak trees, blooming camellia trees, formal gardens and woodland trails plus a lake for kayaking make up Maclay Gardens, "America's first two-time National Gold Medal winner."
Here are Sabal Palms and Sago Palms which are really cycads.
The femal Sago Palm has a soft cabbage looking center that produces reddish fruit with seeds.
The male which I've pictured in previous blogs produces a large pine cone.
The seeds in those red fruits are very poisonous, but this chameleon doesn't care.
Maclay gardens have many other flowering trees.
