Berry. Red seeds fall off easily. The inside is full of water base. Yellow flowers (not pictured). Found by the tree area by my apartment.

Edible but flavorless. Leaves can also be eaten.

I knew there was something special about this grass like plant that popped up in the garden this year.

Neoptilia tora larvae on Allowissadula

Plant itself is only about half a foot tall and half a foot to a foot wide. Flower is huge compared to the plant itself.

8" - 10" diameter

Fern on dead white oak trunk.

Located in the open trail at the 'elbow' as the N fence line trail turns east again. Very near the metal sided small shed.
Among Pinus teada, Andropogon virginicus (sparse).

Looked like Bitterweed, but leaves much wider.

First time I've seen mistflower in the wild.

Thistle in a dry creek bed.

White form!! 🥰

Find the spider! (see the 2nd and 4th picture)

A Zizotes milkweed with buds. A neighbor put a yellow flag next to the plant to find it. It hosts a healthy population of yellow aphids and lady beetle nymphs.
