💛💜♥️ Three top tropical trees - from the legends of Caribbean. Yellow Poinciana, Jacaranda, and Royal Poinciana: three happy colors of the Tropics.

While traveling through the vibrant and diverse Caribbean, we acquired three exquisite local paintings rendered on jacaranda wood plates and a calabash. These pieces of art celebrate the three most spectacular and revered flowering trees of the Tropics:
  1. Yellow Poinciana, with its bright golden blossoms, associated with joy and sunlight, symbolizing the warmth of the Caribbean spirit💛
  2. Jacaranda, known for its striking lavender-blue flowers, is a symbol of wisdom and rebirth, blooming in a breathtaking display that signals the change of seasons 💜
  3. Royal Poinciana, that we mentioned earlier, with its fiery red and orange flowers, is a symbol of passion and energy, referred to as the "Flamboyant" tree due to its bold and dramatic appearance ♥️


    4. Get them now while we have them. No need to go too far into Caribbean!

💜👑 Purple sandpaper? You can't get enough of this purple! And it has plenty of it: Queen's Wreath.
  • 🟣 Petrea volubilis, also known as Queen's Wreath or Sandpaper vine, is a twining vine with large, rough leaves - just like a sandpaper!
  • 🟣 But look at the flowers - spectacular Royal show! Does it remind you of a Northern Wisteria? It is actually another common name of Petrea - Tropical Wisteria.
  • 🟣 The tall clusters of purple flowers, reaching over 1 foot long 👀 are truly spectacular.
  • 🟣 Thriving in warm and humid conditions, its blooms last a couple of days, but the blue calices persist much longer, and more new flowers are coming every day.
  • 🟣 Attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds 🐝
  • 🟣 This woody vine grows fast and can cover a large fence within just a couple of seasons. It's a show stopper! 👏
