Trilby brings a bouquet of iris to Penney who promptly gobbles them. Penney’s thought is that alligators would only bring her something to eat.
One place to see the iris in Florida is at Selby Gardens – Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota!

Porpoise Fun at Floridaland! – Swampy’s Florida Postcard Monday.
A postcard of the former Floridaland and it’s “Amazing porpoise shows” in the “Porpoise Pool”, as stated on the back of the postcard.
Floridaland was in Osprey, near Venice.
This postcard isn’t postmarked, but would figure this is from the late 1960s.
This postcard is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.

This is the original chapel of the now multi-block large College Park United Methodist Church in Orlando. It was built in 1944 as the original chapel. Later more structures were added, including a larger chapel. It’s now used for the main offices and small ceremonies.
This is a Swampy photograph I took in 2013. This also happens to be my family’s church. My mother helped start the day care there 50 years ago.
You can learn more about the church here: https://cpumc.org/

This recipe is from a once-popular restaurant that has had a 3 chapter story.
The first, was The Dove in Satellite Beach. Started by John Mattiello from Italy who landed in New York City as a teen. Eventually he wound up in Florida and started The Dove, wanting to provide a full service Italian restaurant with top notch food and the best that could be provided. Unfortunately, he had a young son who derailed things with drug use and abuse.
Soon John was back in New York state and Starting Dove II with a daughter.
It was years later, and a son who had tried to clean up his addiction, that The Dove III opened in Downtown Melbourne.
The Father and son were back in action.
Until April 24th of this year, when this location closed as well due to structural and food complaints.
The father had the right idea. Sad that others couldn’t support the dream.
Maybe Dove II will reopen or there will be a Dove IV.
Considering the state of local restaurant operations, and the large chains that want them closed, it’s unlikely.
This recipe that was contributed by the original The Dove to ‘Off the Menu – Central Florida’s Top 100 Restaurants’ Recipes’.
