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.

Wildflowers - "these are a few of my favorite things." And then I don't feel so sad.

  1. I can't offer much help either. I don't know a weed from a flower. They are very pretty though.

  5. Hi 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. ;-)

    Happy Spring to you!

  8. "C" is some type of morning-glory Ipomoea sp.

    "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.
