While we were in Florida having breakfast at the Donut Hole in Santa Rosa Beach I saw a bottle of Florida Tupelo honey on the table, which struck me as strange since Tupelo is the birthplace of Elvis Presley in Mississippi. It made me wonder if Tupelo might be a flower from which honey is made since clover honey comes from clover and orange blossom honey comes from orange trees. I later learned Tupelo is a flowering tree common on the Gulf coast, so it makes sense that Tupelo honey could be produced in both Mississippi and Florida.
