Current blog header photo... Florida Greeneyes


One of my favorite Florida native perennial plants, Berlandiera subacaulis, is commonly called “Greeneyes”. The small yellow flowers appear daisy-like on a thin stem raising above a rosette of foliage at the base of the plant. I usually notice them starting to flower in April when I am photographing pawpaw flowers. The eight yellow petals surrounding the green center fall off after a day or so revealing the green stage. The green fades to brown and gray as the seeds are revealed.  -pw
