Florida Spice Rating - Nacho Cheese
Hi, friends! I’m the Cabin Leader, and I’m thrilled that you’re joining me here today!
Every week or so I’ll share an interesting thing I find, either something I’ve seen myself or something cool I learned about online. Today it’s one of the latter, a rainbow eucalyptus tree!

This beautiful tree has NOT been painted by human hands. Rather, these rich, opalescent hues develop as the tree sheds its bark and the layer underneath is exposed to air. This is also the only eucalyptus native to the northern hemisphere.
Where can I see one?
While this dreamy foliage is native to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines, it’s been adopted by many other countries. It can even be found in the U.S., in Hawaii, Southern California, Texas, and Florida.
A Florida location of note is St. Petersburg’s Sunken Gardens, which also features a cactus garden, butterfly garden, water lilies, a flock of Chilean flamingos, a host of rescue parrots, and even a kookaburra.
That’s all for now, safe travels!
