Hello, my fellow flower freaks! Yes, I know it’s been a minute since I’ve done any socializing with you. Being my only employee and taking care of my elderly parents gets to be a lot sometimes. But not to worry, I’m still here delivering lovely Florida native plants to you. All you have to do is keep making those orders!
I’ve added some cool new natives to the Garden Shop since the beginning of the year, here’s the link that lists the newest plants first: https://bellajardins.boutique/shop/?orderby=date.

It was very nice getting some rain today. A lot of our area is in an extreme/exceptional drought, so we need at least another 19 – 20 inches of rain to get us back to normal. Check your county burn ban info before doing any outside burning.
The gorgeous shrub in the pic at the top of the post is Red Anise, Illicium floridanum. As you can see, it’s in full bloom now. I have one 7-gallon in size. Click here, Red Anise, to go to its Garden Shop page. I’ll have more of that size and the 3-gallon size in stock soon.
Happy diggin’ in the dirt!
