I visited Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, a 13,000 acre sanctuary operated by the National Audubon Society. For a couple of weeks in October, Corkscrew's wet prairie is filled with fields of yellow flowers.
These are Southeastern sunflowers (Helianthus agrestis). They are catching a lot of attention in Southwest Florida. I have been to Corkscrew many times over the years and never saw them before.
Beautiful clouds
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking sunflowers. I would image that local birds enjoy eating the seeds of these flowers.
ReplyDeleteInteresting name for it.
