The Tropical Plant International (TPIE) in Fort Lauderdale (FL) closed its doors after three days on Friday, January 19. It again has been a vibrant edition. It is a large show, showcasing tons of foliage, floral and tropicals. Last week, we published several pictures of the show, and over the weekend, we received even more. Below is an impression of the show with all the pictures we received.
