Melaleuca citrina Is an introduced species that feels at home here in Florida.

Exciting find for a forager, an entire shedded snake skin! Spring is such a special time of growth. Yesterday I found fallen pieces of hatched bird’s eggs beneath trees. And last night, I saw two deer in the basin area at CoHousing. My neighbor Toni reported seeing a fox there several days ago.

Made a delicious chickweed salad with wild violets flowers and greens, spring onions, and fresh eggs🥹 it was delicious and I'll definitely be adding this to the meal rotation ☘️

Catching them in their full bloom.

I put off eating these for a long time because i'd heard they have a "fishy" flavor - but I finally faced my fears😂
