May 18, 2006; Miami, FL, USA; A display inside the Historical Museum of Southern Florida in downtown Miami reproduces two photographs of Miami pioneer Julia Tuttle (1849-1908) and railroad magnet Henry Morrison Flagler, right. Tuttle sent sprays of unfrozen orange blossoms, (to Flagler) to prove that south Florida's temperate weather would never harm oranges. Flagler was persuaded to extend his railroad south to Palm Beach County in 1894, to Miami in 1896 and to Key West in 1912. Thus Miami owes its very existence to the orange.
