Pretty stuff, Elaine, but I think we should change the name from "Elaine's Selfish Thread" to "Ode to Spring". That being said, here are some other Florida contributions.
Yellow tabebuia:


Azaleas, dwarf and regular:


Loropetalum:


Brogdan avocado tree in bloom:


Bromeliads growing nicely in the Jacaranda tree:


White lantana:


Jatropha multifida, commonly called coral plant:


My first blooming begonia of the spring:


Umbrella palm plant, Cyperus involucratus


Amaryllis:


Roses:



Pummelo citrus:


Hibiscus:


Mango tree flowers:


Rondelettia:


Pink Jatropha:


Orchid tree:


Pomegranate flower:


Here is one I'll bet is not in the data base, jaboticaba blooms on the trunk and main branches of the tree:


Tibouchina:


Bougainvillea aborea putting out its first blooms of the spring:


And finally, Albutilon or flowering maple:


If anyone out there has the time and wants to put any of this in the data base, be my guest.
