These huge scheffleras are growing in the back yard, they are also
know as umbrella plants. The scheffleras have grown so large they are
taller than some of the palm trees. They are around 30 or 40 feet
tall.
They are usually seen as a tiny plant in a dish garden. I
painted this from life awhile ago, 2003 I think. There were some things
I didn't care for in the painting so I tweaked it a bit and here it is
again. Its 11 x 14 inches, $300.

Daily Painting 1448 Scheffleras in Bloom
I was born in Ft. Pierce and lived there all my life. I have an Associate in Art degree from the Indian River Community College in Fort Pierce. I consider myself primarily self taught.
I am a member of Plein Air Florida, and the leader of Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast. My paintings are in art collections worldwide.
I have co-published an article in Plein Air Magazine.
I have contributed paintings to Art for Nature, Heathcote Botanical Gardens, Habitat for Humanity and various other charities.
I love painting outside using the painting knife. I love the rich texture and lustrous effects I can get with the knife.
My studio is located in my home on Indian River Drive in Fort Pierce. I use both of my names in my art, Lori McNamara and Lenore McNamara.

Cool! I've had these as rather large houseplants before (large pots sitting on the floor & they were higher than waist tall) but I never knew they bloomed!!! I guess all those years I lived in central FL, I never saw one planted outside?! I would LOVE to see one in blooming outside!!! Wow!!
