Nothing attracts more butterflies and bees than a simple white flower called bidens alba.
Also called romerillo, beggar’s tick, Spanish needle or monkey’s lice, this Florida native wildflower is the third most reliable source of nectar for pollinators in our state. There would be many starving bees and butterflies if not for the bidens family of flowers.
Tasselflower So glad to learn their name.
Spiderwort. What an ugly name. It must be because of the root system, which is octopus like and impossible to eradicate. The advantages of never mowing my lawn, I've got plenty of it. It is a beautiful blue though.
Dandelion. So shoot me, but I think of it as a wildflower and not a weed.
Flax harbingers the spring, shooting up everywhere.
Coastal plain hawkseed (who thinks up these names?) or dandelion?
