The best way to find a field of flowers is to go for a drive on some country roads maybe up by brooksville.

Ive been driving for days lol. Drove around Dade city, Zephyrhills, Wesley Chapel, San Antonio... and just a lot of barns and hay. I know they exist, just not sure if anyone knew of one.

The only thing I've seen so far here in Brooksville are the Blue-Eyed Grass and Lyre-Leafed Sage. The Phlox hasn't shown up yet.

I don't live there now but there are always many wildflowers blooming in fields around Williston (couple hours North of Tampa) in the early Spring. One that always stuck out to me was right across from Joyce Bullock Elementary school and in front of Kirby Farms on State Route 316 (between State Route 27a and State Route 41).

While not fields of wildflowers, there are many parks and wildlife areas with many varieties of wildflowers. Here's a link to wildflower walks in Florida.

Not sure if it's still the same, but I recall loads of wild phlox along the roads out by Lutz...

Ironic, since the Spanish named the state Florida because of all the wild flowers. The Spanish word for flower being Flor

I would think open pine forests would contain a great amount of wildflowers, . Possibly many more during changing seasonal weather patterns as well as after heavy rains.

Actually, they named it Florida because they first saw it on the feast of Pascua Florida, although the state tourism industry generally likes to suppress that little fact.

I have never seen a real field of wild flowers either, sometimes a patch of all the same kind of something, but never a field.

Might have to wait until we start getting rain more frequently. (April showers brings May flowers?)

I missed this this year but will be sure to catch it next year. It must be heaven for photographers. The guy who owns it is from up north so he only does it for a short while. A 5 acre field of sunflowers? Yes please! Worth a road trip in my opinion.

Thinking if you wait until rainy season, you might find more flowers....?

Someone does a sunflower meadow in plant city area in the summer for pictures. I think they charge a parking fee.

Fox squirrel farms, but they are not doing it this year. I went to the FB page not too long ago looking for the flower field info and found that they said it was not cost effective.

Damn, wish I was a rich person who could front the money. It was amazing the year I went!!!

I saw a bunch of wildflowers blooming in a drainage ditch along a highway down to Sarasota this past weekend....blanket flower and tickweed mostly but also some very vivid purple flowers that I couldn't identify while driving. So I'm going to guess that ditches and places that temporarily collect water are good places to look.

Carol, I was thinking of the field of phlox in Lutz too. I don't go by there much any more so I have no idea if it is there anymore.
