Perhaps allied to O. keyensis, but this plant more arborescent, taller, spines and glochids more robust.
Asclepias curtissii?
Those are a colleague’s fingers holding the plant (not my fingers!), but this is my photo observation.
Asimina pulchella, but iNat is insistent on Deeringothamnus. 😑😒
Tosohatchee WMA, Orange County, FL, May 2023. City Nature Challenge bioblitz. Staff indicated that rescued individuals were planted on the property over a decade ago. Area was burned this year.
formerly considered part of Conradina etonia. Dunns Creek SP
Aquatic ash that supposedly keys "uncomfortably" to F. caroliniana but is thought to possibly be an undescribed species. 15' tall, growing in water with Taxodium ascendens
Biggest one I've ever seen! About 10' tall
One of the several corolla color patterns in this species.
What’s this dark thing on top of the flower?
Major bucket list plant. Been wanting to see this species blooming for at least seven years...as long as I can remember being even a little bit interested in plants.
Location obscured, of course. Very rare in eastern AR.
Ripe fruit, no flowers, in scrubby areas of Dicerandra Scrub Sanctuary

Why is it white?
Oh my god, Karen, you can't just ask euphorbia why they're white.
