We took a few photos of wildflowers along SR 98 on the way to Perry, where we stayed the first night. Next morning, we took SR 98 to SR 267 to SR 20 to Hosford and then south on SR 65, which was our main destination. Most of the wildflower photos were taken along SR 65. We spent the second night at the lodge at Wakulla Springs State Park. The next morning on the way back home, we stopped at St. Marks Wildlife Refuge and San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park.
The photos below are arranged somewhat alphabetically, rather than chronologically.
