46. Botanical Biodiversity in Florida’s Big Bend | Lilly Anderson-Messec

One of my favorite of Florida’s native milkweeds (do I say that all the time?); Longleaf Milkweed / Asclepias longifolia is typically found in moist to wet soils, though seems to be adaptable to varying soil pH. This species truly is my fave Florida milkweed (sorry viridis). It is really easy to overlook at just a few feet away, but when you get close, the intricate blooms are just mind-blowing. ? . . . #asclepiadaceae #apoynaceae #asclepias #asclepiaslongifolia #longleafmilkweed #floridanativemilkweeds #nativemilkweed #floridabotany #botanybybike #powerlinebotany #botany #wildflowersofinstagram #flwildflowerwatch2020
