wildflowers on Summerland Key bike trail

These are not the best photos, but in my defence I was fighting off deer flies . When they are around its best not to stand still too long.
These plants were all on the Summerland Key section of the Keys bike trail
Saltmarsh False Foxglove Agalinis maritima

Seaside Gentian Eustoma exaltatum

Sea Oxeye
I think this is Sea Oxeye , but the leaf shape does not match the description in my guide.


Salt Marsh Fleabane Pluchea odorata

Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk


Lynn and I on the Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk
Its about a one hour excursion, well worth the time. 
Bring BUG SPRAY!!!!
We saw birds, squirrels, some snakes and a BEAR!!!
Don't worry about the snakes the were not on the boardwalk the bear was.
We just backed backup and the Bear went on its way
