Sandhill Wireweed

The sandy uplands of the Back Woods Forest Preserve are abloom with Sandhill Wireweed and other Florida native wildflowers.

Sandhill Wireweed (Polygonella robusta) is a lovely fall-blooming wildflower that starts snowy white and takes on a pinkish hue as the flowers fully open. Read more about this plant over at Florida Native Wildflowers.
