Happy ! We are reaching peak sunflower season across Florida, and one of our most widespread native species, Narrowleaf or Swamp sunflower (Helianthus angustifolius) is most certainly a star of the show. Occurring in marshes, wet flatwoods and roadside ditches, it tends to form dense colonies resulting in spectacular swaths of sunshine yellow.

Wildflower Wisdom: "One marked feature of the people, both high and low, is a love for flowers."
- Robert Fortune

📷 🌸Coastalplain balm (Dicerandra linearifolia), by Emily Bell ......................
🌸In fall, when in bloom, a single Coastalplain balm plant may have up to 100 or more bright to pale pink flowers. This creates beautiful fields abuzz with happy bees feasting on nectar and pollinating the plants.

Not only is this scene pleasant on the eyes, but the plants also have a wonderful minty aroma that fills the air around them.

📍Coastalplain balm (Dicerandra linearifolia) is a striking wildflower found in sandhill and scrub habitats in North Florida, Southern Georgia and Southern Alabama.
