These are just a FEW of the gorgeous landscaping and potted plant gardening ideas from Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay.Β I didn’t take pix of all of the ideas, sadly, and there were cool ones from Universal studios thatΒ I didn’t capture, so this is just a “sampler”…perhaps I’ll add to it next time I go back π

The bougainvillea, below, is one of my FAVORITE flowers!!! After seeing so many beautiful bougainvillea in Capri, Italy, and the Portifino area, I bought one for home.Β It died. They don’t like NC winters.Β I don’t either. π

Below, I love the use of all the variety of greenery…I need to incorporate this more into my potted garden (which, is non-existent, or only in my dreams, at the moment….)
