Florida Extensive Green Roof in Sanford - General Works, Tecta America

If you want to see an amazing vegetated - green roof then check out General Works (Tecta America's) green roof in Sanford, Florida!

RJ DiLoreto and myself are standing in front of the vegetation in the first photo.  Nichole Eisenhardt with General Works is pictured in the next photo.

The roof is covered with many species, including Andropogon, Muhly, Lippia, and more!  The stunning dominant species as of September 2010 is a Viccia species - I believe V. americana though a red variety - and V. americana is not wide spread in Florida.  Nichole says it was a volunteer that just took over - but wow!  The Viccia is doing just fine - and without irrigation...
