Florida Jungle

This group was completed in 1931, and is also known as the Tropical Group or the Florida Everglades. The background and plants were created by Ottmar and Hanne von Fuehrer, and represent an area just south of Miami in May. This group was based on an expedition conducted in 1929. This group was the third of the initial set planned by Otto Jennings, representing high levels of both heat and moisture.
