Key West's flowers are the best in Florida, a state named in honor of its flowers. Key West flowers, trees and plants are all colors of the spectrum: beautiful, amazing, and in some cases freaky.
Here's my photo collection of just some of them. All these are my original pictures, not photo manipulated in any way. Remember all these can be seen on foot within a 20 minute walk. Wandering Old Town Key West and losing yourself in all this natural beauty is one of the best things you can do in Key West.
Natural organic artistry.
