Such a gem of hidden info here. I particularly appreciate the color wheel, leaf texture and golden ratio aspects.

One thing I've encountered since moving to FL in 2019, is that gardening is year round. The plants you place in full sun for the summer don't die off, shed leaves or go dormant. And for a few months, they can be in full shade. That has been a challenge. So many more things to think about. I do appreciate the insight and expertise in using FL natives and the emphasis on those endemic to your area when possible.

In these videos, it would be helpful if you would label plants with common names as well as the Latin terms. Thanks.
