I usually notice the Sumac in the Fall of the year because of the cluster of red berries that hang from the plants. But this year I happened to be on the Florida Trails to see it in it's summer glory!
It was gorgeous with clusters of white and yellow blooms.
It looked so different that I started thinking it was something 'new'.
There's a bug on this plant getting ready for the Ugly Bug Ball! heehee!
But it's Winged Sumac and the Florida Native Plant Society has the ID info HERE.
Summer is my favorite season and here in Florida we have summer showers that give us so many wildflowers that you would think it was Spring again.
Flowers and butterflies! It doesn't get any prettier than that!
And I have to get at least one photo in of the paved trail!
The showers give us the perfect conditions for mushrooms too.
Here's the Sumac a week later. Some of it is already turning a rusty red.
Oh and do you want to hear something funny? I've always pronounced it SHU Mac! Shu as in SHOE! lol Is that a Southern thing too?
Have you had any summer time showers this week?
I'm linking with All Seasons at the Jesh Studio too!
