Gorgeous prairie of Florida’s state flower, the tickseed, located in an amazing state park with rental cabins and primitive campsites available. $6 entry fee per car with more than one passenger. So much wildlife to see here!!

Florida's state wildflower is comprised of all 15 Coreopsis species that occur here, and most are considered native to Florida. Coreopsis species are commonly referred to as tickseed because of the bug or tick-like ap- pearance of the seed (which is actually a type of fruit called an achene). The small seed is ovalish to round with two short spines at one end.
Coreopsis is member of the daisy or aster family, Asteraceae, which was formerly known as the Compositae family. Plants in this family are frequently called 'composites' because the inflorescences are comprised of two types of flowers – the showy ray flowers we
know as petals, and the nonshowy disk flowers
in the center. The daisy-like flowers of Florida's Coreopsis vary from about 3⁄4 to nearly 2 inches in diameter, and in all but one case are bright yellow. The lone exception is the swamp or Georgia coreopsis (Coreopsis nu- data), which has pink flowers. It is found only in moist areas in north Florida, including road- side ditches and swales.
