Off Island, Cross the states to sunny Florida I flew. Yep, actually left the island and got a taste of the tropical weather in Orlando and Spring Hill. Didn't visit the magic kingdom in Orlando but did see some pretty magical vegetation in my Dad's yard which is in the small town of Spring Hill- one hour east of Tampa. The Florida aloes in the front yard make our California aloe seem like midgets! and I'm always surprised at his king sago palms which grow like weeds! The most magical plant of all is a red amaryllis I gave Dad several Christmases ago, which he planted in his yard after it had flowered.
It continues to flower and now sent out another new plant. It hadn't bloomed yet when I visited but I took photos anyway. Dads' grapefruit tree put out so many giant grapefruits that I was fortunate enough to bring some home (shhhh). Well back to the Island to see what Spring has in store!
