Please WATCH WHERE YOU WALK. Please do not trample the wildflowers.
CREW is rich with wildflowers. April is the peak of the wildflower season but you can find something blooming there any time of the year. Some of the species in CREW are rare and on the threatened list. Many of the wildflowers are smaller than a quarter.
The Blazing-Star is found in sand ridges, scrub, and pinelands throughout much of Florida. When the plant blooms, it attracts a kaleidoscope of nectar seeking butterflies. The species was first discovered in 1883 growing along the Caloosahatchee River in Lee County.
