Tupelo trees along the banks of the Apalachicola River
Tupelo trees have clusters of inconspicuous greenish flowers, which later develop into berrylike fruits.
In northwestern Florida, beekeepers keep beehives along the river swamps on platforms or floats during tupelo bloom season.
The Florida tupelo flower is very delicate and blooms for only a very short time every year-approximately for three weeks or less in late April.
The tupelo blossoms have very delicate little pistols that secrete nectar and a brisk wind or intense rain can tear the blossoms from the trees.
The white tupelo gum tree, Nyssa Ogeche, grows profusely along the Chipola River and Apalachicola River of northwest Florida.
These yummy pancakes are a perfect addition to a family breakfast on the weekend, when things are not so rushed. The sweet potato adds such richness to the batter and the buttermilk and leavening agents leave the pancakes so light and fluffy.
