Under The Jakfruit Tree
I took a ride around the nursery this morning and quickly realized South Florida ‘winter’ has quickly given way to summer. It seems spring got swept away in global warming. Perhaps there is still time to get back to more seasonal temperatures as March quickly approaches. Anyway, I did see the spectacular blossoms of the Queen’s Wreath Vine (Petrea volubilis), the Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys), the Asoka Tree (Saraca indica), and the Rabbit’s Foot Shrub (Ruttya fruticose) to name a few. Richard Lyons’ Nursery, has all of these plants for sale currently.
