Our bat flower will get you in the mood for Halloween! 👻🎃☠️

The bat flower is one of the few plant species with black flowers. Modified bracts look like wings and whisker-like bracteoles resemble the whiskers of a bat. It is very rare to find this species in the wild and is considered by most to be an endangered species. 🦇🦇🦇

🐝Just a friendly reminder: Picking flowers from roadsides, etc. reduces the ability of a population of wildflowers to sustain itself. Many native wildflowers reproduce only by seed and you may not know which are threatened or endangered.🌾So, click it - don’t pick it!📷

💯It’s the law
Picking the flowers of any endangered or threatened species is illegal in Florida (Florida Statute 581.185).

👍Don’t be a hazard
Stopping alongside a road can be hazardous to you and other motorists. It’s best to view roadside wildflowers from your vehicle.
