Although phlox drummondii isn't technically a native wildflower in Florida, it might as well be. It has naturalized so beautifully in fallow fields and roadsides. This field of phlox and tickseed is one of my favorite spring spots. I love this time of year!

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteI just moved to FL a little over a month ago and have been in search of wildflower fields like this one. Would you mind sharing the location? thanks!!!
Hi! I'm looking to get married in a field like this! I would love the location as well :)
