     central Florida during last week of January.  Does anyone have an 
     recommendations for gardens to see in that area?  I'll be 
     headquartered near Orlando...but will be able to travel in any 
     direction for, say, 3 hours by car.  Of course, I'd like to see irises 
     in bloom...Louisianas specifically...but I realize that might be 
     asking too much! Thanks for any ideas.  Feel free to answer by 
     personal email.  <<
     

     
     You might try Cypress Gardens (Cypress Gardens, FL) or Bok Tower 
     Gardens (Lake Wales, FL).  They're about 1/2 to 1 hour drive southwest 
     of Orlando.   Cypress Gardens is mostly tropicals, to my recollection. 
     Both camillas and azaleas should be blooming.  Sugar Mills Gardens and 
     the Spruce Creek Preserve (more nature-oriented) are near Daytona 
     Beach.  There is an orchid garden in the Orlando area, but I'm not 
     sure of the name.  Hope this helps.
