WILDFLOWERS; Florida Style 

These botanical eye-candies are Lantanas.  The individual, fluted blossoms are about 3/8" across and were found growing in scrub land in the 94 acre George LeStrange Preserve just southwest of Fort Pierce, FL.

We were geocaching along a mile long trail surrounding the park's 37 acre, catch-and-release fishing lake when I encountered this visual delicacy smiling merrily at me in a scrubby field.  The plant was a skinny bush about 3 feet tall.

Mother Nature triumphs again!
