Yellow Milkwort Blooming in May


Polygala rugelii, a Florida native grows as an annual revealing it's "poly" petals in early summers. Here I've found this Yellow Milkwort blooming in early summer although it can be found blooming later into the warm season, even into early fall.
It's location was a pine flatwood forrest.


According to Walter Kingsley Taylor's guide, Florida Wildflowers, the yellow milkwort is endemic. Its range from "counties south of Taylor, Suwannee, Colombia, Clay, and St. Johns.
