Bok Tower Gardens, a “must see Florida attraction” centrally located between Tampa and Orlando, is open every day of the year from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I think the relief carvings on the corners of exedra, are Flamingos.

Exedra & Sunset Overlook

The marble Exedra was a gift to Edward Bok from friends in the neighboring Mountain Lake Community where he resided. This sunset view inspired Mr. Bok’s dream of the Gardens during his visits. At an elevation of 298 feet, this is one of the highest points in peninsular Florida.

Exedra, viewpont & resting place, is measured at 298 Feet by a geodesic marker and records this as the highest point measured in peninsular Florida, 298 feet above sea level (a previous estimate of 324 feet comes from the Plaque fitted on the Monument. (taken from an earlier incorrect survey)
