If you can't get enough of majestic trees, brightly colored flowers, and anything that grows from the ground up, you'll love this guide to 74 outstanding tropical flowering trees that will grow in Florida's subtropical climate. From the huge canopy of red blossoms on Royal Poinciana, to the eye-dazzling yellow of Tree of Gold, the most breathtaking of Florida's flowering trees are represented within the pages of this full-color book.

Looking for beautiful trees that don't mind the cold of north Florida? Try Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria)), Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin), or Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica). Prefer easy-to-grow trees that aren't fussy about soil conditions or location? Golden Rain Tree, Mimosa, or Yellow Jacaranda (Petophorum) are a good bet. Ambitious gardeners may want to tackle Scarlet Bean (Brownea), Sacred Garlic Pear (Crateva), or Lance Pod (Lonchocarpus).
