Here's a message that I sent back in September about this exact
same thing...  Reposted below from

Anyhow, I would recommend this place if they haven't all been zapped
by the frost.  It was still beautiful and interesting though -- I had
never seen a cinnamon tree before and live oaks look cool any time of
the year.

 Oooh, ooh!  I would highly recommend the Harry P. Leu Botanical Gardens 
 in Orlando.

 I was down there about two years ago for a Mathematics tradeshow, but 
 managed to sneak way and spend an afternoon in the gardens.  They have 
 over 2000 camellias on the grounds, although when I was there they 
 had just been zapped by frost. 
  
 I also spent a couple hours talking with the Executive Director, 
 Robert Bowden.  He's quite a nice guy with a lot to share -- if 
 you stop in the main office, say 'hi' to him.  He'll probably 
 talk to you for a bit... 
  
 They have a Web site at
