🌺 Caught on camera: found this on the Flower of Caipora.

• 🍁 Ruellia affinis, the Flower of Caipora - is a rare tropical gem from the forests of Brazil, with tropical red blooms when you need them most!
• 🍁 This isn't your typical Ruellia. It's a climbing, vining shrub that puts out blazing red flowers in winter when most plants are taking a nap especially during Fall-Winter holidays.
• 🍁 You can let it vine up a trellis or pinch it back to make a bushy, compact shape. Either way, those scarlet blooms will pop once the older stems mature.
• 🍁 Just give it light shade, warmth, and moisture - and it'll reward your patience with color when you least expect it!

🥭 Late season mango Kent: Florida's delight.
Mango Rainbow🌈

• 🟡Kent is Florida's late-season superstar that never disappoints!
• 🟡These big, oval mangoes turn yellow-green with a ruby-red blush and emit the most tropical, peachy aroma. Slice inside and you’ll find dense, fiberless orange flesh that melts in your mouth with a sweet-tangy burst and warm spice notes. It's juicy, succulent, and perfect fresh or in smoothies - and they keep coming from July through early fall.
• 🟡This tree is a heavy bearer, disease resistant, and a must-have in any mango collection!
