Consistently one of the best producer of awesome blooms in the garden is my ‘Saffron’ hibiscus. This hibiscus grows great and has huge high impact flowers. If you are looking to add some ‘spice’ to your garden I’d be adding some saffron.

Packing the garage for the imminent cold weather and was totally wowed by this anthurium magnificum. I really didn’t grasp its scale when it was out in the garden.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a post but this philodendron McDowell was looking 🔥 this evening. This is one of the more overlooked varieties but in my opinion it is one of the best landscape philodendrons you can buy, you do nothing and they just keep getting better and better. What more can you want from a plant?

Isn’t she lovely? Sandy is one of my favorite hibiscus and here is a fun fact, I like it so much it’s one of the few plants I own more than one of. It’s a good grower and heavy bloomer with the perfect mix of yellow kissed by peach. This one is a winner!

A lovely orchid display going on right now on the west side of my house. People tend to think growing them is hard but other than irrigation these aren’t really getting much care. Water is the key to keeping them alive and Fertilzer every so often will go a long way in making them bloom.

The first of the new round of fancy hibiscus to bloom in my yard this year is ‘White Hot’ and I believe it lives up to its name! To quote it is “dramatic” which I also agree with. I tried this one back in 2020 and for some reason it never took off. This one is growing well and setting buds like crazy so I’m looking forward to a colorful winter!

Big color here for Christmas from my Waihee Rainbow Ti plant. Here in south Florida these are very misunderstood plants. Ti plants do best in partial sun should be planted in a protected location not full sun. The pretty colors in the leaves we all buy these plants for comes out late November through March so if you buy one through the summer months be patient and the color will come.

Calathea warscewiczii aka jungle velvet are widely grownfor their amazing cool leaves but what really stops people in their tracks are their inflorescence. The shockingly cute yet amazingly complex flower structures trump the factor of the leaves all day long. Mine blooms like crazy being grown outside but unfortunately most people that grow them as house plants never get to see these awesome little flowers. I guess that’s why we have Instagram.

One of the newer introductions into the south Florida plant world is the Coral Firespike. The red and the purple firespikes have been one of my long time favorite plants and I decided to try this one earlier this year to switch things up. While not as flashy as the others the subtle coral pink of this one is quite delightful and I will certainly use it again.

Our team’s hard work paying off here on a beautiful December day.

This philodendron ‘Blizzard’ continues to intrigue me. Literally after years of what was quite frankly sh*tty only green growth the variegation kicked in and now each leaf is shockingly more white than the next. What I did really interesting about this plant is the excessively white parts of the leaves don’t burn off like the monsteras do. Always something new to learn about your plants 🤓
