Spring Flowers In Florida?
I've been out this week shooting spring wildflower pictures. The woods come alive with them over the next few weeks here in Bluff Country. This morning, I realized we had a bunch of wildflower pictures from Florida that Mrs. T took recently. The problem is, while I consider myself fairly knowledgeable on native wildflowers here........I don't have a clue as to what any of the following plants are in Florida. Suggestions are more than welcome! Click on pictures for more detail.

I can't offer much help either. I don't know a weed from a flower. They are very pretty though.
ReplyDeletepic H is called lantana-
ReplyDeletepic D looks exactly like my coreopsis-
okay, that's all I've for you!

Afraid I'm not a flower person either, but they're all lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, but you are cheating going to Florida to get them. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteHi troutbirder! I'm not much help, either... however, I think I know a couple of them. After looking at your other comments, Jeannie Oliver has mentioned the two I was going to say. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring to you!
My, I am a pitiful wildflower girl, but I did guess that H was lantana! LOL!
ReplyDelete"A" is Pontederia cordata Common Name: PICKERELWEED, a Florida native!

"C" is some type of morning-glory Ipomoea sp.
ReplyDelete"D" is indeed coreopsis which is Florida's state WILDflower.
"E" is Taxodium distichum aka BALD-CYPRESS and also is native.
"F" maybe beach sunflower Helianthus sp.
"J" looks like moonflower also Ipomoea Sp.
