Very cute! Is that a native plant in Florida?

Yes, this is one of our natives. It's a lovely sight dancing in the sunlight.
The tiny bees especially love it.

Thank you for your answer. Is this a wild flower or the seeds are being sold in there?

These are wetland wildflowers that we found growing on the edge of a road widening project. We dug a few of them up because when the construction starts again on that side they will be destroyed.

I've never seen seed or the plant being sold but we are hoping that the little bees are doing their job well and seeds will grow.

Thank you for your information. They must be happy to be saved by you.
Please nurse them carefully.
