Florida Wildflowers are Putting on a Show

June 18, 2010 by Rick

The wetter than normal spring has given us a better than normal show this year. Earlier we had a beautiful roadside display of Blue eyed Grass. The ditches are now full of many other showy plants like Tickseeds and Black Eyed Susans.

Florida Hikes will give you information on where you can go to see so many different habitats and their wildflowers. You are sure to see Florida’s Gopher Tortise on these hikes.

Don’t forget to look up for wildflowers too. Our native oncidiums are in full bloom right now.

Awesome to stop and take in the native sites. I assume this gopher tortoise is named "Bob" too. (My kids name all GTs "Bob"!  LOL!! )

I love the wildflowers, and I appreciate learning their names, so many thanks for the post and great video. I see so many of them in swales and culverts, I'm guessing they like the occasional standing water.
  I'll take a heaping helping of butterfly pea. Too cute!!
