we have several flowering plants around, but the most popular, and biggest draw, to the hummingbirds & butterflies and also lots of other little critters, if you pay close attention, is lantana.

i read that FLA has its own native lantana that's considered endangered, but that the more common one i have ((in SC)) grows all over down there too.

in season it gets really, really big. like patio-sized when full & mature. then dies back over the fall all the way down to the roots.

Wow! Ours was dinky. (Died last winter, but it lived through even the worst of our winters.) The plant itself was about the size of a small beach ball. The flowerheads were a little bigger than a silver dollar.

We live in Philly, so I can tell you lots of plants that attract butterflies. I just can't name the ones that would survive FL.

We've had two hummingbirds drop by when we were out to see them. This is big, because we're about the only people on or block who have any kind of plants in the backyard. (Cement yards.) One stopped by a few weeks ago, and din't mind us sitting five feet away. He liked our butterfly bush. And the best part was he liked it enough, that he took a minute's rest on one of the branches.

BUT big news this year -- for the first time since we moved into the city, we saw a mourning dove. We see a lot of their cousins (pigeons), but never them. So cool you get to see them so often.

Pintas were the 'winners' this year and are still going strong, as long as you 'feed' them and give a good
shower so they don't have to want a drink, it's very stressful for any plant/flower to crave water in a
dry spell - there're all so different, yet so many are so similar!...also we planted what was on the sale rack
and learned some interesting things about different flowers and stuff" - we already know how feed and treat them.

also, just go on the 'inter' and they will tell you what ever you want/need to know...

I used to live in Apopka, Florida for many years. It's about 10 miles NW outside of Orlando. Currently residing in Clearwater which is between Tampa and St. Petersburg. Don't see too many butterfly's where I live. I do enjoy watching afternoon thunderstorms from my second floor balcony. It's like watching God's fireworks in the sky. Amazing.

like now? lol Have you noticed the beautiful clouds we are having? Like cotton candy with many colors of grays, blues, and white? Then the sun shining through...so lovely. And very unusual.

By the way...anyone needing a job...Ocala is building manufacturing plants everywhere...businesses opening up. We are having a boom.
 
Tourist, have you seen John Travolta, or Tom Cruise? Clearwater is the head of Scientology isn't it?

John Travolta has a home not far from me. He's seen occasionally at places and Reba McEntire at Sams once.

Just a bit of a thrill. lol

Post,
it's definitely NOT endangered, if we wanted to, we could just stop along the sides of
many roads and just dig...

yes, you are very observant: these cloud changes happen every year, but most are waaaaaayyyy to busy
to even take notice, especially now'..........ever wonder why most want to 'plug-into 'it' -
and then we have those who what to stay 'plugged-out'? assured-freed-ready-waiting to serve
and stepping-up/out for Jesus Christ?...
