Giant white flowers, burgundy foliage, native swamp species, giant bulbs — and a grasshopper that absolutely loves eating them. 🌿🌸

Our newest Featured Plant article is all about Crinum lilies.

We take a closer look at Giant Crinum, Queen Emma Crinum, Florida’s native Swamp Lily, other Crinum species and hybrids, mature size, landscape placement, eastern lubber grasshoppers, leaf spotting, beneficial green lacewing eggs, and the fruit and offsets that help Crinums reproduce.

We also included several of our own Sarasota-area photos from landscapes we’ve worked with.

One detail we’ve noticed in the field: Queen Emma tends to show much stronger burgundy and purple-red foliage with more sunlight. In shadier locations, the leaves can become considerably greener.

Crinums can be incredibly long-lived landscape plants when they’re given enough room and planted in the right conditions.

Sarasota friends — we’re beginning preparations for our Veterans Day driveway-cleaning project, and this year we’d like to reach more local veterans than we were able to last year.

There are many ways to thank a veteran. For us, one of the most meaningful is simply to use the work we know how to do.

Our Veterans Day Driveway Cleaning Project is dedicated to my grandfather, Captain William Washington Strong, U.S. Navy (Ret.), whose service and example are a big part of why Veterans Day has such personal meaning for our family.

StrongSRQ would like to provide free driveway cleanings for local veterans, with particular consideration for retired, disabled, and senior former service members who may benefit most from having this work taken care of for them.

We’re asking for the community’s help in finding the right people. If you know a local veteran you believe should be considered, please submit a nomination through our Veterans Day page.

We’d also love to connect with local veterans organizations, service groups, community advocates, HOAs, and businesses that may be interested in helping us identify veterans who could benefit.

If you know someone who can help us get this in front of the right people, we’d really appreciate you sharing it.

Sarasota homeowners — with the Modified Phase III water restrictions now extended through March 31, 2027, we decided this was something worth addressing more permanently.

These restrictions have been affecting our area for much of the year, and as we move into the drier season, we know homeowners are going to keep having questions about what is allowed, especially with landscape watering, new plantings, irrigation, and pressure washing.

We’ve created a dedicated Sarasota Water Restrictions page on StrongSRQ.com that we plan to keep updated as the rules change. We’ve also been staying in contact with the Southwest Florida Water Management District so we can work from the most current information available.

The page covers current watering rules, new landscape establishment, drip and micro-irrigation, homeowner pressure-washing restrictions, professional pressure-washing guidance, and some of the water-conserving practices we use ourselves.

Our goal is simply to make it a useful local reference for Sarasota homeowners.

Those purple berries are hard to miss. 💜🌿

Our newest Featured Plant is American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), a Florida native shrub that puts on one of its best displays in late summer and fall.

Beautyberry is especially valuable in wildlife-friendly landscapes. Its flowers attract pollinators, while the purple fruit provides food for birds including cardinals, mockingbirds, bluebirds, and catbirds.

There’s another interesting detail in this week’s article too: one of the pollinators photographed visiting Beautyberry flowers is a naturally metallic-green native bee. 🐝 Yes — some Florida bees really are that color.

We photographed this plant here in the Sarasota area and put together a closer look at its flowers, fruit, mature size, pruning, growing conditions, wildlife value, and how it can be used in Florida landscapes.

And if you have an American Beautyberry growing locally, send us a photo. We’d especially love to see one with birds enjoying the fruit.

What kind of tree grows a trunk like THIS? 🦕🌳

Our newest Featured Plant is the Silk Floss Tree — one of the strangest and most beautiful trees you can find around Sarasota.

If you have one in your yard, or know where a good one is growing locally, we’d love to see your photos.

Those huge cone-shaped thorns are only part of what makes this tree so unusual. There’s even a fascinating theory about why trees like this may have evolved such extreme defenses — and it reaches way back into the age of giant prehistoric animals.

Then fall brings the other half of the show: huge pink flowers that can cover the canopy and turn this bizarre-looking tree into one of the most breathtaking bloomers around.

Silk Floss Trees often flower from around September into November, so now is a great time to start watching for them.

Our newest blog feature covers the flowers, the thorns, the silky seed pods, mature size, landscape use, and some of the strange history behind this unforgettable tree.

A quick break from our driveway giveaway posts for our next Featured Plant: Firebush. 🌿🔥

And yes, the free driveway cleaning giveaway is still open, so if your driveway could use a cleaning you can enter on our website!

Firebush is one of our favorite Florida-native shrubs for Sarasota landscapes. It brings bright red-orange flowers, attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, and handles our heat very well once established.

One of the things we like most about it is how resilient it can be. We’ve seen Firebush hit hard by hurricane saltwater flooding, look almost completely dead afterward, and then come back beautifully after a hard cutback.

Our new Firebush feature also covers native Firebush, Dwarf Firebush, Lime Sizzler, wildlife value, pruning, mature size, and a couple of real field observations from Sarasota landscapes.

For September’s special, we’re doing something a little different.

Last Veterans Day, StrongSRQ started offering free driveway cleanings for local veterans. We’re planning to bring that back again this year, and before we do, we thought it would be fun to open a more limited version of the idea up to the Sarasota community.

So this September, we’re giving away 5 free driveway cleanings to local homeowners.

No purchase, no catch, and no other service required. We’ll randomly select 5 Sarasota homeowners after entries close on September 22.

We thought September might be a fun chance to open it up a little, help out a few local homeowners, and see where the idea goes before we bring back the Veterans Day version later this fall.

If your driveway could use some attention, you’re welcome to enter here:

https://strongsrq.com/driveway-giveaway

Sarasota-area homeowners only. Full eligibility details and rules are on the giveaway page.

And if you know a neighbor whose driveway could use it, feel free to pass it along.

If you are a senior, disabled, or retired veteran, work with veterans in those groups, or know someone you’d like to nominate for our Veterans Day event, please reach out to me. We’re already beginning to plan this year’s Veterans Day driveway-cleaning event and hope to help more local veterans than we were able to last year.
