WILDFLOWER, WILD FRUIT


Common names here for wildflowers and berries growing along Ten Mile Creek, its roadways, meadows, and woods. Native, non-native, poisonous, non-toxic, edible, non-edible. Never eat wild plants unless you know what they are and whether or not they are poisonous. Photos were taken beginning in 2007 in the Marianna area. The spring ephemerals fade quickly. Stop to appreciate them in the few short weeks they are here. This page will be updated as time allows.
