WHAT FLORIDA NATIVE PLANT IS BLOOMING TODAY?: WHITETOP ASTER; PINEBARREN ASTER (Oclemena reticulata)
Hard to believe that this is the first time I am highlighting this beauty. It grows back in the small mesic area of my piece of paradise and is one of the early blooming asters.
Peaking out from among Dahoon, lyonia, blueberry, huckleberry, smilax, pawpaw, grapes and more, it is in a shady location.
