Here in North Central Florida, we do have a seasonal landscape. I live in Gainesville, FL and that's about 2 hours north of Orlando. Yes, we have plenty of "evergreens", but we do have so many seasonal trees and shrubs that love to show off this time of year.
It's cold tonight, and a fire is going in my living room fireplace. The December feeling is here. We've had a few frosts and freezes, so the grass is all dormant and brown. I won't have to cut the grass for a few months, but I will just mow over all the leaves....my natural mulching technique.
My Sycamore tree is almost naked and all it's leaves have fallen. My live oaks are dropping their acorns and the squirrels very busy.
My Nandinas are Christmas RED
and the birds are loving them.
My Emperor Sagos have been covered during the Freezes, and they are still getting ready for a flush of new growth. The normal "Florida Green" has changed into winter colors of purples, reds, and orange.
The Ivy in my Live Oaks are really
showing their colors this year.
I hope to get photos of my
blooming camellias.
I love my December Landscape !
