🐱 Cat of the month: Persephone - the Queen of the Underworld

• 
  🔠ell, well, well... it seems we have a new purrsonality around here! A few days ago, we discovered a mysterious little purrrson living under the TopTropicals office.
• 
  🔠id a customer leave her behind? Or was she simply drawn to our PeopleCats paradise? Who can say!
• 
  🔠ither way, since she made her grand entrance from the underground, we decided to name her Persephone, after the Greek goddess and queen of the Underworld.
• 
  🔠ersephone has come a long way - she finally let us pet her, and now she's taken over the office desk!
• 
  🔠he even drools a little when she gets those precious head scratches. Persephone has officially joined our Nursery Team, adding her charm to Customer Service
• 
  🔠ome and see our #PeopleCats (including the queen herself!) in purrrrson at our Garden Center in Ft Myers, Florida!

🌈 Why some cassias are called "Rainbow"?

Cassias, besides yellow, can be pink, red, or with a multi-color flower combination.

Rainbow cassias are hybrids between yellow and pink or red cassias.

Some of the most showy cassias are:
Cassia grandis - Red Cassia
Cassia javanica - Apple Blossom Tree
Cassia marginata - Rainbow Shower Tree
Cassia roxburghii - Ceylon Senna
Cassia x nodosa - Pink Shower, Appleblossom.

♦️ Cassia trees are compact, fast growing, tolerant to drought and poor soils, free-flowering and relatively cold hardy. Always a great choice!

Ponytail Palm - The Quirky Plant with a Big Personality!

• 🌴 Beaucarnea recurvata, also known as the Ponytail Palm, Elephant-Foot Tree, or Nolina, is the ultimate low-maintenance showstopper!
• 🌴 With its swollen, bottle-like base (for storing water) and long, flowing, ribbon-like leaves, it looks like a palm but behaves like a succulent.
• 🌴 This adorable plant thrives on neglect, tolerating drought and even a bit of frost - making it a carefree plant.
• 🌴 Cute or quirky, it can be grown in a pot as a showy bonsai with a large caudex.

Put ❤️ for cute and 🔥 for quirky!
