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

   1920 N. Forest Ave 
   Orlando, FL  32803-1903

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
