These Spanish needle blossoms (aka Beggars tick) look like they’re floating on air, white petals like tattered sails buffeted by the morning breeze, yellow crowns like beacons of light attracting butterflies and bees in our backyard. #beggarstick #spanishneedle #wildflowersofinstagram #wildflowers #wildflower #backyardgarden #backyard #sarasotaflorida #florida #flowersinflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/CFPaVaSHy2O/?igshid=mzxrkskfk6nq

Sometimes it’s as much fun to learn the names of wildflowers as it is to come upon them on my walks. Here, for instance, are the blooms of Spanish Needle, also known as Beggar’s Tick, or Monkey Lice! Whatever they’re called, the sight of wildflowers in bloom always lifts my spirits and helps me remember the beauty of a summer’s day. #beggarstick #spanishneedle #wildflowersofinstagram #wildflowers #wildflower #morningwalk #florida #flowersinflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyyWQznOro/?igshid=dy8s9y1rxr9s
