Chrysalis / Sulphur Butterfly (Largo)
Phyla nodiflora flower, aka Carpetweed with a Dainty Sulphur Butterfly I have seen this "weedy" groundcovering plant with its tiny flowers growing in several locations in central Florida -- usually with many different types of butterflies nectaring on it, including a Zebra Swallowtail. It is a host plant for Common Buckeyes and Phaon Crescents. This image was taken alongside Joe Overstreet Road near Lake Kissimmee. I think the common name "Carpetweed" is unfortunate -- and prefer one of its other common names "Frog Fruit". It seems to prefer a moist environment.
