Beaches, with an abundance of shells, brightly colored towels, flip flops, sunshine, and sand; palm trees, oranges, lemons, limes, and tropical flowers; flamingos and manatees; sunsets—these were all great themes suggested by Floridians, but the one that was the most popular choice was alligators! These “murder logs” are the theme of Florida with their many rows of sharp teeth! The bright colors also give a subtle nod to the remaining suggested themes.
