Dotted Horsemint is in full bloom right now.
It's not only beautiful, it's smells amazing!
You can see why it's called 'dotted' when you look closely.
This is what a big stand of it looks like!
So does that have anything to do with horses?
I did a search and the only reference I saw was the fact that it has an aromatic beneficial phenol thymol and is used medicinally for horses and humans.
I went back over some of the photos I've taken of horses at Halpata Tastanaki Preserve.
The preserve shares a common fence with a horse farm so it's a good place to see horses.
There are trails on the preserve for horses too.
Our wildflowers are going crazy right now.
They are everywhere in abundance along with a beautiful variety of butterflies and moths.
Our temps for every day this week...high at right around 90, low 70. The humidity is not as bad and there are nice breezes every day so I won't complain! Typical for this part of Florida in September!
Does it feel more like Fall at your house?
