I am sure I would be like one of the plants with red peeling bark if I visited Florida!

The frangipane is so exotic looking and beautiful! The resurrection fern is terrific. I love seeing how different environs support such different flora and fauna. Cool. In Texas, where I come from, spring is a bit more subtle as well. But beautiful.

Oh my goodness, Chris should lighten up. That was a nice response Jeff. I wish I was more like you. At the risk of making you think of politics again, that was very Obama-like, lol.

Yellow is my favorite color too! It doesn’t look good on me though. But I like to see it. It cheers me up. It’s sunny. My whole kitchen is yellow. Even my kitchen table.

Good point. I modified the post so that it reads “folks who haven’t visited South Florida”.

Thanks so much, Jeff, for sharing these pictures of spring in South Florida. So interesting to know that you can see the changing of the seasons there, though it is more subtle. The flowers of the Frangi-pani tree are stunningly beautiful. Amazing, too, is the dramatic change in the Resurrection fern after rain. I would have guessed it to be dead in the “before” picture, so I can readily see how it got its name. I’d love to see more pictures of where you live in the future. A very nice post.

“I’ve learned that folks who don’t live in South Florida have the misconception that there is no winter here.” Would that be that ALL folks who don’t live in South Florida have misconceptions? How about the millions of us who have spent many winters there? Some of us are not ignorant or unobservant. Perhaps your education could use some revising.
