A reproductive Carex lutea in May is pictured along a wet ditch. […]
Cuphea aspera flowering in May and seeds collected in July. […]
Asclepias viridula pictured blooming in June and mature seeds in July. […]
Sarracenia rubra sp. gulfensis populations were visited at Blackwater River State Forest by the Atlanta Botanical Garden in May, June, and November 2024. Sites were seepage slopes or streamside bogs, pictured here. Plants at the streamside bog had long flowering stalks, with multiple stalks arising from a single point. Seeds were collected in November and […]
Hymenocallis henryae flowering in May; maturing capsules in June; and mature green fruits in July. Note the soft, brown, rotten fruit. In this species, maturity of seeds is marked by bright green, hard to the touch seeds. […]
Rhexia parviflora in flower in June. Note the sparsely pubescent stem, presence of petioles, and the anthers which are longer than the filaments. […]
Fire is an essential ecosystem process that must be incorporated into conservation. Yet, the proper use of fire for conservation is a delicate balancing act between maintaining habitat quality and the unique fire adaptations of each imperiled species. At Archbold Biological Station, our long-term research on wild and translocated populations of many imperiled plant species […]
These plants spread easily because of their stoloniferous growing habit. This Coreopsis may form dense colonies in optimum growing conditions, but is not considered to be invasive. The areas searched in 2023 had dense, sporadic colonies throughout this stretch of the river. […]

Capsules of Hypericum edisonianum mature sporadically, making field collection of seed difficult. By bagging immature fruit, seed can be captured as they mature. […]
Hypericum edisonianum has a narrow range in Florida, but where it occurs, it can dominate depression marshes. […]
Mature capsule of Hypericum edisonianum as it is just starting to dehisce. […]
Hypericum edisonianum flowers typically have four petals, but occasionally have five. […]
Hypericum edisonianum shrubs are found in seasonal depression marshes of south, central Florida and can grow to almost 2 meters tall. […]
Seed collection bags help to capture seeds in case of wind or rain that might disperse them. […]
