Pokeweed

Pokeweed is a Florida native plant that pops up all over Hundred Acre Hollows in the spring. Pokeweed is a short-lived perennial that is winter dormant and blumes in the spring. The white flowers on the pokeweed turn into black or dark purple fruit. The berries on the pokeweed are commonly eaten by birds and are primarily pollinated by many different species of bees. Pokeweed is easily identified by its red to purple stems and groups of berries or flowers on the end of them.

Yuliang's new drone photos! You can see the Slash Yuliang's new drone photos! You can see the Slash Pine trees and Saw Palmettos in the 2 northern basins which are one foot higher than the 4 southern basins. The 1944 aerial photo belongs to the Brevard County EEL program. It seems that Mother Nature is healing the land and making it look a lot like the way it was before the rapid infiltration basins were dug between 1985 and 1990! The water treatment plant was used from 1990 to 1996. There were no houses around here then.
