Welcome to Floridata's first update of the New Year. This year we will be working hard to make Floridata better, bigger and faster. We appreciate your past support and hope you'll stop back frequently to see how we're growing. This month we've profiled several flowering plants from the tropics to brighten up our winter. Next month we'll be adding some bedding plants and a couple of trees to the reference. Our latest Fact Track, a visit to The Senator (Florida's giant bald cypress tree) will also be published. Look for the February update on 2/2/99 - see you then.
