Breaktime Pavilion We were contacted by Academic Alliance for Dermatology's Webb Road location in Tampa. They had a busy office with a lot of employees, but they didn't have a suitable outdoor break area. If their employees wanted to get out of the office for lunch or at break time the only place for them to go was into the parking lot or the sidewalk along the side of the building. But there was an opportunity for a solution which would make thier employee break time more inviting and relaxing. We were able to utilize the small green space adjacent to the building to build an octagonal shaped covered pavillion with benches and a table contained within. Now Academic Alliance for Dermatology's employees can sit down and enjoy the outdoors protected from the Sun and the elements. Our hats are off to AAD's commitement to the happiness and well being of thier employees. May they enjoy many relaxing lunch breaks to come!

PLANT OF THE MONTH

Amaryllis
(Hippeastrum x hybridum)
Amaryllis is a popular flowering plant in Florida gardens. Standing as tall as three feet, it has trumpet shaped flowers which can be colored in shades of pink, red, orange, slamon, and white. They can also be found with spectacular striped and multi-colored blooms.
Grown from bulbs, Amaryliss does well in Florida as a regular outdoor garden plant, but is usually cultivated elsewhere as a container plant. The best time to plant bulbs is in the cold to cooler months of September to February, or just before the warmer spring weather comes around (see our video Green Goodie at the top of the page to see how to plant bulbs).
To get the most visual bang for your buck, plant Amaryliss in groups of the same color with an eye towards contrasting the color to what is around it. Try darker colored flowers against light backgrounds and white, or light blooms, against dark backgrounds.
For more detailed information about Amaryliss and its' care please visit the following page provided by the University of Florida IFAS Extension..
