Most of the impressive Flowers you see are not native and some of them are downright invasive although they are better than the alternative of nothing. If you took the sand pines and the saw palmettos of my property I would look a lot like south Texas except even there you have flowers on a lot of the shrubs in the spring time which may not look so impressive in the day but at night under a full moon look fantastic. and of course there you have the fields of wild flowers not so many of them here and most of those not native.
You do however have Poincianas (madagascar), jacarandas (south america),tibouchinas (south america) pink and yellow tabebuias (south america) azaleas (japan), camelias (northern india..I think) water hycinths (south america) singapore daisies (oddly enough from south america) lantana (midwest usa) amaryllis (south africa) I could go on if you want I do landscaping here so I'm pretty familiar with a lot of the plants here. Don't get me wrong fl isn't flowerless as far as natives go but it isn't exactly like some dutch tulip field either.
