At right is a photo of a Jamaica Caper Capparis cynophallophora. It was planted in 1780, next to the First Government House in Bermuda.

This photo comes to us courtesy of Don Kuhn, long-time native plant enthusiast (no, he didn't plant it, just took the photo).

We can thus conjecture that the locally indigenous plants that you install during your lifetime will be appreciated by the people of the 23rd Century.

What kind of a world would you like your progeny to inhabit? It's not enough to just recycle your plastic!

We do not sell plants by mail order.

If you can't find a certain plant in your area, maybe it's because what you're interested in won't work there.

But, you still want it anyway?

Fly to Miami, visit the sights, and on your last day here, rent a truck, come on by, get all the things you want, and then drive home!

Replace your ficus hedge with one of these native alternatives.

The fig whitefly is attacking ficus hedges.

What should you plant instead?

Ficus Alternatives

Here is another Caribbean plant with blue flowers, Solanum conocarpum, indigenous to St. John, in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The common name, marron bacoba, doesn't really stick in the mind, or roll off the tongue. It should be called something like the blue-flowered potato bush.

Wildlife at Plant Creations

We are not just a nursery; we are a nature preserve.

Our focus is toward an appropriate mixture of native and tropical foliage plants, for use as accents and ornamentals, to transform your garden into a multi-dimensional paradise, getting away from European-style lawns, annual flowers and hedges. We have an enormous array of heights, textures, colors, and shapes suitable for the Florida sub-tropical climate.
