Stopped by my favorite local preserve for a morning hike. It’s a relatively small area, but contains just about every Florida ecosystem crammed into one spot thanks to its uneven terrain.
Eryngium baldwinii:


Liatris chapmanii:


More Eryngium aromaticum:

Tillandsia paucifolia, pot-bellied air plant:

Entodon seductrix, one of my favorite mosses.

Cuthbertia ornata, scrub roseling. First time seeing one of these.

Cnidoscolus stimulosus, which will absolutely stab the crap out of you with its nearly invisible needles (ask me how I know).

Houstonia procumbens. Absolutely love these guys. Perfect open terrarium plant.


More tree Eriocaulons. Tillandsia utriculata.

Senega nana.


Trilisa subtropicana. These are just starting to bloom in mass, and it’s a sight to behold. Florida endemic.

It’s been raining every day at about 3pm in typical south Florida summer style. Perfect conditions for the soft lichens to start their metabolism back up.
Dacrymyces sp.


Some Amanita which may or may not kill me.



Leptogium cyanescens. A foliose, gelatinous lichen.
