In 1972, Solomon began building his castle in a swamp in Ona, Florida. The artist built the castle out of aluminum printing plates discarded from the local newspaper. Besides the usual castle amenities—bell tower, dungeon, moat, and drawbridge–the castle has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and ninety stained glass windows.
While there is not much else in Ona, FL, the castle has gained a lot of attention over the past forty plus years. It has appeared on CNN, HGTV’s ‘Extreme Homes’, and in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.
The castle was more than a home to Solomon. It is an ever-changing gallery of his artwork. Solomon created hundreds of pieces for you to enjoy. You do not need to be art connoisseur to admire a Solomon sculpture. All you need is a pair of eyes and a sense of humor.
Like the castle, Solomon created his artwork from discarded items. On your visit, you will see cans, bike gears, automotive parts, and other ‘parts’ made up in ways you have never imagined. His artwork includes “The Car with a V-8 engine”; “Evil Kornevil”, a motorcycle made from automotive parts; and “Jeb the Bushman”, an elephant made from oil drums.

Since its establishment in 1973, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens has formed the largest scientifically documented collection of living orchids in the world. The Orchid Show highlights spectacular orchids from the living collection for which it is known across the globe.
The Orchid Show consists of a horticultural display in the Tropical Conservatory and an exhibition in the Museum of Botany & the Arts. The horticultural display is abounded with orchids of various shapes, colors, and patterns, illustrating the beauty and diversity of one of the largest families of flowering plants. Some hang on rocks over a pond created just for this show, as they would grow naturally in their tropical habitats. Some are placed against cork or paired with little custom three-dimensional pots; some ornamented with driftwood and framed by ferns and moss.
The exhibition consists of images and artifacts illustrating the history of Selby Gardens, with particular emphasis on the remarkable people and plants that make it such a special place.
We will have a 1-hour docent-led tour, followed by time to explore the Museum and Tropical Conservatory on our own. Lunch (OYO) at one of Selby Gardens’ Dining Options at The Green Orchid or The Selby House Café.

Experience the gripping intensity of Misery, the thrilling stage play adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic novel. Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his “Number One Fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads the manuscript to his newest novel and becomes enraged when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Annie forces Paul to write a new “Misery” novel, and he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go anywhere. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it, and if he does not make her deadline, it will. It is based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Stephen King, which was adapted into a 1990 film written by William Goldman.
