Wild Flowers of Ft. Myers Beach

For the past year my wife Dorothy and I have been photographing and identifying florida native wildflowers that are found growing on Estero Island.  I push the shutter button while Dorothy thumbs through several reference books searching for the flower's indenty..  It all began with our involvement with the Matanzas Pass Preserve as volunteer land stewards under the watchful eye of Terry Cain, the Lee County land steward.  We started  indentifying and cataloging wild flowers at Bowditch Point Park as a project for Lee County.  We followed up by  for wild flower specimens in Matanzas Pass Preserve and the Critical Wildlife Area.  We are continuing the hunt in throughout SW Florida and we are having a blast.
