General Comments:
This is one of Florida's most showy and most under-appreciated wildflowers. Look for it along disturbed roadsides in mid-late winter and early spring.
This is a personal favorite of one of the authors -- it grows and bloom early and attracts lots of insects. The only issue is the prickles, so I wear gloves when weeding around it. It reseeds readily so long as there is good sun and bare ground where the seeds land.
Don't let the name fool you, this is a Florida native.
