USF Botanical Garden Fall Festival

Ohh thanks! I’ll definitely keep that in mind! I’m having the hardest time finding flowers to keep in my area that will survive the humidity, rain, and heat :laughing: I think the Dragon’s Breath is going to look amazing when it blooms but I have to get it in pots. We picked these ones because they’re annuals and they bloom all year. But we also picked them because out of all the flowering bushes at the festival, these and the Music Note plants were just so full of bees that I had to have them!

I’d really like to have a hibiscus, too. Those seem to do well here in Central Florida.

What’s your favorite plant to grow down here? I’m working on my second year of having a vegetable garden. It’s funny that our growing season hasn’t really started yet. It’s still too hot and humid :rofl: I’ve got some seeds to get started soon. I don’t know if you saw in the Merry Meet Monday - Magick News of the Week! Oct 10 - 16 :broom: post but I shared some of my garden beds that I’m working on. We want to have zucchini, tomatoes, broccoli, bell peppers, and all kinds of other things. Our peppers did really well last year but we had ants infest the roots of just about every plant in the garden and so much stuff died :sob:

I can’t believe you already had your first frost! That’s crazy to me, but I know you’re much further north than I am. At least we both are in similar situations with acclimating to different growing seasons :laughing: we’re not alone!
