Ever driven around the Tampa Bay area and spotted stunning purple, trumpet-shaped blossoms or roads blanketed in what looks like a purple flower carpet? That’s the breathtaking Jacaranda mimosifolia—just one of the many flowering trees Jene highlights in this colorful episode.
From the elegant Hong Kong Orchid to the sunshine-drenched Golden Shower Tree (Cassia fistula), the fragrant Ylang-Ylang (Cananga odorata), and the striking Trumpet Tree (Tabebuia), Jene shares tips, stories, and growing advice to help you bring these flowering showstoppers to your own landscape.
