Florida Nature - Roadside Beauty

Today I was taking photos at a home in the Royal Highlands subdivision in Weeki Wachee that I just listed for sale.

When I crossed the road to get a better angle of the home, I noticed these pretty little flowers growing alongside the road.

I don't know what they are but I thought they were a nice surprise, unexptected roadside beauty. Although not captured in the photo, bumblebees seemed to really like them as well!

Interested in buying or selling a home in Spring Hill or Weeki Wachee, Florida? Please contact me for more information about available homes for sale in Spring Hill, Florida.

Thanks for sharing a little roadside beauty Silvia, it's funny how often we ignore things like this until we almost step on them while doing something else.

Kathy, I've been looking at many wildflower photos but couldn't find one that would match these.

Susan, maybe someone will see this and let us know!

Bob, you are right. They were not that obvious so I would not have seen the, driving by. It was only because I happened to walk alongside the road that I noticed them.

Debbie, thanks and same to you!

I am sometimes amazed at how I will be on a mission to photograph one thing, but find something of real interest in another!

Beautiful flowers, Silvia. Like you I take pictures because I like the subject and don't worry about what real/scientific name is.
