Ornamental Plants and Tropical Fruit Trees

I reside in South Florida and have seen almost every Ornamental, Fruit and Vegetable that grows in Trinidad here.
Ornamental plants are generally the same also here as home.
"Banga" palms, "Chalta" trees occur here.

Maybe because of the similar weather?
Even mango tht came from India growing all over now.

I have my amarillis in ah brown paper bag for a few weeks and then will pot them up. Then they will sprout up and bloom and I will take them over to the daughter in law and triplets...yes son too

Amarillis are so easy to grow.
