Notes:

while trying to identify a wildflower, I ran upon this listed under "CAUTION INVASIVE SPECIES" well, at least now I know what it is! http://www.floridata.com/ref/a/ardis_c.c... it's called coralberry, or christmas berry. (Arsidia crenata) "Coral ardisia is listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (a non-governmental organization) as a category I species, defined as an introduced species that is invading and disrupting native plant communities in Florida. In many areas, coral ardisia has become a significant pest. " - floridata Fascinating. However I find no disruption present so, I am not going to interfere with this plant's life. http://procezzed.blogspot.com/2012/02/re...
