While I was out waiting to take a photo of that hawk this morning, (he didn't show) I wandered around looking at the new flowers blooming.
Down by the road we have some wild coreopsis blooming. I'm sure glad that part on the lawn mower broke, otherwise we wouldn't have these.
These fern like things are growing all over the property and just recently started blooming. Although they look like a sensitive (mimosa) they do not retract when touched.
I want to say viburnum, wild. But I really haven't a clue, but they do have a very nice spread of small flowers and these are scattered about.
Floridian and I have been watching this plant for the past 3 weeks waiting for it to bloom. It might get there yet.
I photoed and posted this before, but today I am a little better with the camera.
Seems like a wild cassia maybe. The foliage is pleasant and the flower is pretty so these remain where they grow and become a part of my gardens.
Another Fla native, day flower. These are scattered about and they make me smile whenever I see one, I am happy they are here.
These are Fla natives, I bought at a native plant sale. Brown eyed susan (rudbeckia) I believe.
And finally, although the bloom is gone, there is no doubt there will be more again when the fluff gets picked up and carried in the breeze.
The second picture is a partridge pea...
nice pics - thanks for sharing.
I really need to post some soon.
Joe, Thanks for that, this one then is in the cassia family, I see from my google.
Please do take and post some photos of yours.

Your viburnumy thing sure looks like Eriogonum from here. I don't know what species would be in Florida, but there're a bazillion of them out here in New Mexico...

Your Coreopsis is probably C leavenworthii but the foliage will give you a better ID
The second is most likely Chamaecrista fasciculata unless the stems and under the leaves are fuzzy. If it's fuzzy the plant could be Chamaecrista nictitans var. aspera
The Dayflower is the lovely Commelina erecta
We have 2 native Eriogonum; Eriogonum tomentosum which is most likely what yours is and Eriogonum longifolium var. gnaphalifolium which is endemic, endangered and has not been found in Levy County
Great natives!
Maybe that sloooow plant will actually bloom this weekend!
We could only hope, and I have narrowed the hawk down to either the Red Shoulder or the Red Tail. I am bending more for the Red Shoulder. Until I see him again anyway.

I was walking around trying to take some pics, but I have alot of stuff that is just about to open up -
Joepyeweed almost open...
Ironweed - almost open
my rain garden has a few coneflowers open, a bunch of some white minty thing... the cardinal flowers are just starting to turn red (but you can't see it in the picture) and the columbine is just about done...
