Rotary Park at Suntree, October 29, 2010

This small park borders the Indian River Lagoon, on Suntree Blvd, Rockledge. It has a playground and 6 picnic shelters, including one large pavilion. The wildflowers I found were mostly in a small, disturbed area on the south end of the park.

It was strange to see this aquatic plant growing out of the dry dirt. I suppose the area it was growing in had previous been wet.
