There actually aren’t any cardinals in my neighborhood anymore, and that’s because not a single sliver of the natural habitat was left when being developed. Hopefully, with more people planting native plants and smarter landscaping at businesses, some species can come back. #cardinal #backyardbirds #cocoplum #floridanativeplants #nativeplantlandscaping #birdtok #birdcarving #miami #fortlauderdale #floridagardening

You’ve heard of Milkweed but chances are you have not heard of Curtiss’ Milkweed, Asclepis curtissii. When in bloom it has a very beautiful cluster of white and green flowers with tiny purple specks. It is a very rare, Florida endemic, endangered species that is only found in Scrub habitat. I think this may be the last population in Broward, but I’ve only seen two plants in this location and I’ve never seen them produce seed pods. They may be in one more location in the county, but when not in bloom it could be confused with other scrub species like a seedling Myrtle Oak or hidden among Gopher Apples. They are not in cultivation. It’s a shame that we could not spare one of the many parking lots, same stores on repeat every few blocks, or empty mowed roadside areas for restoring endangered habitats. Broward County has lost so many plant species already (Quercus pumila, Pinguicula pumila, Asclepias lanceolata, Carya floridana, Coreopsis floridana, to name a few). Hopefully, in the future, some seeds could be collected from the Broward plants and more plants propagated for restorations and even gardens. #curtissmilkweed #milkweed #asclepias #asclepiascurtissii #endangeredplants #endangeredspecies #rareplants #floridanativeplants
Airplants, aka Tillandsia, sometimes fall out of trees when it’s windy, and I find it hard not to stop to pick them up and put them somewhere safe, especially these very cute Potbelly Airplants - Tillandsia paucifolia, or else they’ll rot on the ground!! 😬😅 #airplants #tillandsia #rareplants #floridanativeplants #floridaeverglades #botany #endangeredplants #southflorida

Several Gentian species like this Gentiana catesbyi have flowers that rarely fully open - they require pollinators that are strong enough to force their way into the bloom - mostly larger bees like this bumblebee.

Native to South Florida, the Strangler Fig, Ficus aurea, can be seen here doingnits thing: strangling! This species is hemiepiphytic, meaning it beigins its life as an #epiphyte since it germinates on other existing trees, and eventually becomes terrestrial once it matures, swallowing its host!
