Dustynewt … I really enjoyed all your photos. Had never heard of an Orchid TREE … I might put up with the invasiveness cuz it sure looked pretty from your photos. So many beautiful plants/shurbs in your yard!! And those sunsets … WOW!!! Do you ever get tired of that??!!!

Thank you for sharing those … it was nice to get a peek of Florida! :-)

GrandmaT - Thanks for the wonderful comments.

I have always wondered if “Orchid tree” was the correct name for these (we have always called them that). It was confirmed about a year ago by a fellow LumberJock in the tree business.

Florida is beautiful. You just have to get used to the oppressive, humid heat five months a year. People rarely see the real Florida when they come on vacation. Disney is great, but it is 98% artificial. I have lived here since 1979.

Dusty … I used to spend my summers near Ft. Lauderdale in the late 60’s early 70’s. We would fly there with my father for work. I have many awesome memories of that time … the Ocean, humidity, lizards, seemed like daily afternoon showers, walking up and down boat docks, tropical plants … you are right, Florida is beautiful, even from a young teen’s perspective.
