Florida lobelia, Lobelia floridana

Florida lobelia is one of about 13 kinds of Lobelia in Florida. That may be the most of any state. Here in Michigan there are seven. In California only three. Lobelia seems to be one of the genera that most fascinates wildflower people, and if you're one of us, I guess you need to head southeast? Florida lobelia grows in AL, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, and TX. Everglades National Park, Miami-Dade Co FL, 3/20/16. Bellflower family, Campanulaceae.
