Photo of the Day: Flower, Pretty Flower
Flower, Pretty Flower. That’s not a flower that’s a cactus. Well actually its both. It is a Florida Prickly Pear Cactus in bloom along the Upland Trail at Weedon Island Preserve. While we think of Florida as a wet tropical climate, it was once a desert environment much like the deserts of the southwestern United States. There are still small reminder of this in the state and the cactus is one of them. (Photo: March 16, 2019)
