Native irises are blooming in some of our natural areas! Look for these wildflowers in moist soils adjacent to wetlands. Their flowering season is short-lived, so get out there soon! These photos were taken at Charlotte County's Babcock Ranch Preserve Footprints Trail.

Happy Native Plant Sunday!

We spotted this bell-shaped beauty yesterday during the CREW field trip with Roger Hammer organized by our friends at Coccoloba Chapter. Endemic to Florida, Clematis baldwinii (pine hyacinth) is a small wildflower that can be found in pinelands.

Happy Native Plant Sunday!
This elegant sedge is a short-lived perennial that grows in wet areas. Its inflorescences are described as "a flock of doves, or fireworks exploding over a forest of green."
1. ID this plant.
2. The petals are actually not petals. What are they?

Happy Native Plant Sunday!
We photographed this plant during one of our exploration hikes at CREW Marsh Trail.
Can you identify it? (Hint: After blooming, the flowers fade to a rusty brown and this fact gives the plant its common name).

It's Florida Native Plant Sunday!
Ruellia caroliniensis (wild petunia) is a perennial that is host plant for the larva of the common buckeye (Junonia coenia) & white peacock (Anartia jatrophae) butterflies. Please use this native plant instead of the invasive Mexican petunia!

We spotted this beautiful Tradescantia ohiensis (bluejacket or Ohio spiderwort) in the garden of one of our Chapter members. The flowers are edible and attract pollinators, especially bees. The blooms are ephemeral, which means that the flowers stay open only one day. #fnps
