Dale Wimbrow Park in Spring, February 20, 2013

We found several new wildflowers in Dale Wimbrow: bay lobelia, Florida greeneyes and sweet everlasting. Found, but did not photograph, dried remains of the muck sunflowers that we photographed in bloom on October 17, 2012. They were easily identified by their very narrow leaves.
