Field Notes
Description:
From Hawthorn Hill Website:
" Its round basal leaves form a circle about 6 inches across. From this, a flower stalk is produced in the early spring which eventually reaches about 12 inches in height. Atop this stalk, several large showy yellow blooms are produced in March. As with other members of this genus, the flowers have 5 bright yellow petals - looking very similar to those pictured for pinebarren frostweed. "
Habitat:
"Carolina rockrose (Helianthemum carolinianum) is a rather diminutive member of this wonderful wildflower genus. It is found throughout the northern half of Florida in well-drained sunny habitats and in the southern U.S. from Texas to North Carolina."
This specimen was found adjacent to the Silver River State Park
