Raúl Musibay: Miami has a wide variety of tropical and semi-tropical plants. For most visitors from northern climes, Miami plant life is a new experience.
Jorge Castillo: Drive around any Miami neighborhood and you're going to see a lot of things you never saw in Dubuque!

Glenn Lindgren: The plant life here is quite remarkable and definitely beautiful. The county and state have really helped with massive plantings – especially palm trees – along the turnpike and expressways.
Jorge Castillo: Many of these trees replaced trees damaged by Hurricane Andrew.
Raúl Musibay: Drive through a tree-lined street in Coral Gables and you will enjoy a wonderful tropical plant experience.
