    Just as a friendly reminder, I wanted to mention that liking, commenting, and sharing videos really do play a major role in helping content creators like myself reach a wider audience. Your engagement on RUclips can have a positive impact and contribute to the growth of the channel. But I totally get that everyone has their own preferences and comfort levels when it comes to social platform engagement.

    I'm in St Pete, can't wait to visit! I'm in The Florida Native Plant Society... so glad you touched on the importance of natives. I live on a 26 acre condo complex, am in charge of all the landscaping and give foraging tours. You mentioned Bidens alba and thought you might want to know it's edible and medicinal. During the Civil War they used it heavily as an antiseptic, also cures a dry cough. Foraging is a lost art. I also did not know papaya leaves are edible, thanks!

      Great! I didn't know that about the Civil War and Bidens alba, but did know about it being medicinal. You could stay at the Pike's AirBnB, and take their Sunday tour, and bring a bucket to collect cuttings. Here's their AirBnB link:

    7:02 very interesting I love mimosa if that is what it is(powderpuff) and I had someone comment @ me about how it’s not native and nothing uses it and I myself not an expert definitely finding nature that to be flat out false in Florida. I see multiple species like she describes here so it’s very nice to see that an expert loves mimosas too and does acknowledge they do have pollinator guests. This is also now a point I’m curious about. When does an invasive become native?? That’s the kicker to all of the fuss about non natives and such. If a species learns to eat on mimosa after a few decades. You can call it non native however they’ll call it food. Just an hobbiest two cents and love the video information you supply!! 🪱🤙

I grow the same mimosa Amanda does, and I'm glad she prefaced that part of the tour carefully, understanding that some gardeners have strong feelings about non-natives. But Amanda clearly states later that you should plant natives with non-natives.
