grannybush, Euphorbiaceae, Croton cascarilla
Granny is a short - maybe a meter tall - bush in the spurge family. Judging by the name, one would think there'd be some interesting lore. But when Googled, you get a bunch of stuff about Granny Bush. Amazing how many Bush family Grannies there are on the net. So a kind of nondescript plant that might have been interesting only turns out to have only been fun in a kind of screwed up backwards way. Granny is native to southern FL and TX, and probably south from there. Everglades National Park, MiamiDade Co FL, 3/20/16.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
