The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens located in Sarasota, Florida and acclaimed by syndicated garden columnist Duane Campbell as "a supernova in the cons tellation of botanical gardens," is perhaps best known for its living collection of more than 6,000 orchids. Selby's bay-front property is an open-air and under-glass museum of more than 20,000 colorful plants, many collected in the wild on nearly 100 scientific expeditions to tropical rainforests by the Selby Gardens' research staff. Seven greenhouses are the heart of botanical research and plant identification, for which Selby is internationally recognized.
