Attendance to the annual Orchid Show of the Jacksonville Orchid Society is always a must. So many beautiful flowers, plants well presented and identified, and plenty of vendors outside to cater to anyone interested in purchasing. Photos show mostly Dendrobiums, but many other species were present and available.

With the current weather here in NE Florida, it’s nice to see some blooms in the garden! This native shrub or small tree, Walter’s Viburnum, has clusters of small perfumed flowers that do not mind the cold. There are short and taller cultivars of this species, and all provide food for pollinators, and for birds later in the season, when they come after the small, shiny oval black seeds. One of the best uses of Walter’s Viburnum is when planted and trained along the property, as it is an excellent privacy hedge.

Beautiful native Florida flowers blooming now in our yard, in late September: Scarlet Hibiscus, Sunshine Mimosa, Pineland Hibiscus, Pineland Lantana, Giant Ironweed, and Blue Indigo. I must say that most of these were totally unknown to us a few years ago! All of them are great food sources for local pollinators. 🌿🌿🌿

We currently have three native milkweeds in flower in our garden: Asclepias incarnata (‘Swamp Milkweed’) with soft pink flowers, Asclepias tuberosa (‘Butterfly Weed’) with dark orange flowers, and Asclepias perennis (‘Aquatic Milkweed’) with white ones. Florida has close to 20 different native milkweeds, but most are not easily found. Regular plant places mostly offer tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica), and some of these have sadly been found to be host to a pathogen that kills Monarch butterflies’ larvae. It’s thus recommended to plant only natives. We rely on reputable sellers of native plants from the area in order to purchase plants that are not only native, but specific ecotypes for each FL zone (South, Central, North). It may sound a little complicated at first, but we eventually understand and embrace it.

We’ve been in NE FL since the end of 2021, and after a long and interesting process of adapting to sandy soils, we finally have a nice fruit forest. Temperatures here can drop to the lower 30’s in the winter, so tropical fruit growing is limited to what you can put in large pots and bring inside during the cold. So we’re mainly focused on subtropicals and those that can take the summer heat: figs, citrus, some bananas, and low chill temperate fruits. We’re sharing some that are currently fruiting.
