Chorisia speciosa - Exotic Pink Silk Floss Tree
by Onika Amell, tropical plant expert
When I stumbled upon my first Pink Silk Floss tree at the Naples Botanical Garden in Florida, it stopped me in my tracks. It was in full bloom and one of the most beautiful flowering trees I had ever laid my eyes upon. This tree has so much wow factor. Not only are the flowers of this native from the Amazon Rain Forest in South America spectacular, but the trunk, seeds and attractive, umbrella-like crown makes it exceptionally unique and interesting. This tree will stand out in any garden....

Why we want to plant a tree today
Code red: Study reveals
human degradation of tropical forests
is greater than previously estimated
This summer has been scorching hot across the globe, with every summer month breaking temperature records in recorded history.
Have you ever wondered what kind of natural world your children or grandchildren will inherit? Will they grow up surrounded by lush forests and greenery, or will they only know cities made of metal and concrete?
Tropical forests are super important for biodiversity and fighting climate change, but humans are messing them up more than we thought. Using fancy tech from the International Space Station, scientists found that human activities like logging and road-building are degrading these forests a lot. Even edges of forests are suffering, reducing canopy height and biomass significantly. This degradation is often overlooked, even though it has a huge impact on carbon emissions and biodiversity loss.
Planting trees in your yard, or even better, several trees, helps combat this problem by restoring some of the lost biodiversity and absorbing carbon dioxide. Plus, it's a fun way to make your space greener and contribute to a healthier planet!
Together, we've planted over 15,000 trees this year!
This year at TopTropicals, we have planted quite a few trees. Let's
see...
- 44 mango trees planted at our BFarm...
- 49 tropical fruit trees
- 127 flowering trees and shrubs... (special thanks to Mick and Aurelio)
- 15,282 plants were ordered and, hopefully, planted by our customers this
year so far...
Join us. Plant a tree today to make the difference!

Straight from the Amazon: the most beautiful ginger everyone asks about at our farm
Variegated Spiral Ginger - Costus arabicus (amazonicus)
⭐️ Straight from the Amazon: the most beautiful ginger everyone asks about at our farm
- 🌀 Variegated Spiral Ginger - Costus arabicus (amazonicus) is not your average ginger. Unlike the common gingers with plain green leaves and short flower spikes, this one is a real standout. Its tall spiral stems are striped with bold white variegation, creating a dramatic swirl of green and cream even before it blooms.
- 🌀 And when it does bloom - the flowers are pure white with soft yellow centers, like porcelain sculptures nestled among the leaves. It's a tropical showpiece that turns heads wherever it grows.
- 🌀 Originally from South America and now loved in Hawaii and Florida, this ginger thrives in moist, rich soil and loves plenty of water. It handles both sun and shade, but really shines in a bright, filtered light spot.
- 🌀 We have one growing right by our farm office, and everyone who walks by stops, stares, and says the same thing: "I want that plant!"

Can your cat snore this loud? Sound up
Why listening to a cat snoring is good for your health 💤
😴 Scientists have studied many natural relaxation sounds - ocean waves, rain on the roof, forest wind. But one of the most overlooked therapeutic sounds may be much closer to home: a cat snoring next to you.
😴 When a cat snores, it produces slow, rhythmic vibrations that naturally encourage the human brain to relax. Similar to white noise, this gentle rumble can help calm racing thoughts and lower stress levels. The brain interprets the steady sound as a signal that everything around you is safe and peaceful - after all, if the cat is sleeping that deeply, the world can't be that dangerous.
😴 Studies on human-animal interaction show that simply being near a relaxed pet can reduce cortisol levels, lower blood pressure, and even improve mood.
😴 And unlike meditation apps or sleep machines, a snoring cat comes with additional health benefits: warmth, occasional purring, and the strong reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do for your health is exactly what the cat is doing - lie down, relax, and take a nap.
😴 Side effects include: Zero productivity and a sudden urge to cancel all your plans. 😴
