Bromeliad Dragon- Epcot

Have you ever been in Epcot and seen some part of the landscape that made you say… “I would like to have one of those in my back yard?” Well each time I go to Epcot during the 2009 Flower and Garden festival I find myself saying that about the pond in front of the Temple of Heaven. Normally the entire area is beautiful but right now during the Flower Festival right in the middle is the Bromeliad Dragon. Bromeliad are a type of tropical plants that are often found in Latin American and the Caribbean and sometimes in the Southern US states. A typical Bromeliad is the pineapple. For China’s topiary exhibit the Dragon is created from different Bromeliad plants. It is amazing to see the detail in this topiary exhibit.

So here we are at the end of another week I still have not told you about everything that is at the International Flower and Garden Festival 2009. Next week I will continue the tour, including an interlude for some musical entertainment.
