Fairchild's Million Orchid Project Brings Native Plants to Miami Beach's Lincoln Road - Miami New Times

Next time you find yourself walking on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, pay special attention to the plant life around you, and prepare to be dazzled by an abundance of orchids in bloom in the trees. The flowers are part of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Million Orchid Project, a five-year program that aims to reintroduce orchids in public spaces. Orchids now enliven Coral Gables and Coconut Grove; this leg of the project was funded by Stephen Bittel, chairman and founder of the local real-estate firm Terranova Corporation, as a gift to the City of Miami Beach. Many varieties of orchid are native to South Florida. More than a century ago, the fragrant flowers would have been a common sight in trees throughout the area. But a lethal combination of exploitation — through agriculture, the houseplant industry, and urban development — has reduced the population of native orchids to the point they cannot recover without human assistance.Enter the Million Orchid Project.Pedestrians can enjoy 500 brightly colored orchids while strolling along Sou...

French Floral Designs Miami Adds Modern Twist to Classic French Romance Via Unique Designs - Miami New Times

They can be loud, egocentric, and pungent, stealing your attention as you're escorted to your table. In Miami Beach, the Setai's director of food and beverage operations, Julien Labays, stresses the importance of displaying beautiful flowers at the tony hotel's restaurants and throughout the rest of the property. "Upholding the tradition of flower arrangements around our property, especially in the dining areas, is quite important to us," he says. "Our displays propagate a specific emotional connection that adds to the property's overall sense of warmth and unparalleled hospitality. Because we are so well known for our displays of 500 roses in both the Art Deco and Residential Tower lobby areas, it places more of an emphasis for us to carry that through in [our restaurant] Jaya and the Courtyard, particularly for our holiday events."Continue Reading Co-owner Veronique Touboul Courtesy of French Floral Designs Veronique Touboul, co-owner of French Floral Designs in Miami, agrees.

Life is a satisfying arrangement

Carr came in first place. He got to go backstage after one of the performer's shows at the Miami Beach Convention Hall. "I'll never forget it. He asked me if I wanted to play a duet," Carr said. Liberace also taught Carr several of his piano techniques. "He was working with young people at the time and he asked me if I wanted to participate. But my parents told me, 'No, you're going to school.'" While disappointed, Carr saw the wisdom of their words. And he kept playing piano. But not just the expected recitals. As a student at Miramar High, he agreed to play just about any time he was asked. He acted as accompanist for school choirs, church services and even got a weekend gig playing at a popular ice cream joint. Carr played so much that he earned the nicknames of "88 Keys," and "Flying Fingers." The moniker "Mr. Piano" has stuck with him to this day, and his vanity license plate is the proof. "The first time I got paid was at Jaxon's Ice Cream Parlour in Dania Beach," he said. "They had a honky-tonk piano. I played there for two years. Everybody else was out on the weekend. But I'd make 160 bucks, which was a lot in the 1960s." What did he do with his cash, despite his father's advice that he save? Carr laughed. "Went out to eat, bought clothes and a car. My first car was a Volkswagen, which I loved. Then I bought a Mustang." Carr recalled fondly his first "real concert" was as part an evening of music presented by the Performing Arts Society of Greater Miami Beach. The recital was at the then-Playboy Plaza Hotel in Miami. "I got to be the showcased pianist," he said. "There were 2,100 people in the audience. I played Chopin's ‘Polonaise.'" He also started taking on students, and continues to this day. "I had maybe 12 or 15 students before I went away to school. I really enjoyed it," he said. "I thought, 'How am I going to explain to somebody?' because I had no formal training. But I loved it so much, I would only end up with students who really wanted to do it. What I was actually doing was tailor-making the lesson to each student." Carr's later students weren't all kids and teens. "I taught a lot of professional people over the years," he said. "I've found that people just want to play the piano. I love it so much that I know what you really want. You want to learn how to do something, but you need to practice." In addition to teaching, Carr is an in-demand performer, but often plays where his fancy strikes. A stroll to a nearby senior center led Carr to offer to play some afternoons. If there is a piano, chances are he might sit down and play a few tunes. While in college, Carr found that he also had a skill for...
