What a great way to learn about wildflowers than having a week dedicated to just wildflowers!
Beginning May 1 and lasting till May 7, it’s time to get outdoors and discover the hundreds of different species of wildflowers in your area.
May is the perfect time to see wildflowers in their natural environment. New blooms are bursting right now and bringing color to the forest and here are some ideas to help get you started.
- If you don’t have iNaturalist or Seek, download the apps. This will help you identify all those awesome wildflowers.
- Find a trail!
- Florida Trail Association – Building more than trails
- State Forests / Our Forests / Florida Forest Service / Divisions & Offices / Home – Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (fdacs.gov)
- Parks and Recreation Topics | Florida Department of Environmental Protection
- If you do go on a hike, always remember safety! Don’t hike alone, bring water, bug spray, cell phone charged, and bring any necessities you will need.
- Learn/review the trail before heading out. Some websites will have the trail map available for download.
- Join a hike or walk event during National Wildflower Week!

Oh, no!
I enjoyed them LAST week! Jumped the gun. Now I’ll have to get out again next week and enjoy some more. Tough work but someone has to do it.
Thanks for the heads up. Who knew wildflowers had their own week?
