| | Homes: Flame on, Florida |
 | | So we don't have an in-your-face, rock 'n' roll autumn with a pyrotechnic light show of flame-colored leaves, but what we do have is like a string quartet accompanying a slideshow of nature's changes. |
 | | By now, Florida roadsides boast drifts of wild asters, their lavender-pink daisies swayed by breezes. |
 | | A Florida autumn sees a cornucopia of ripening papayas and bananas, the first blush of yellow and gold on citrus fruits, the colorful plumping of muscadine grapes and passion fruits, the sensuous softening of avocados and mangos into flavorful perfection. |
