I'm happy to! Tourism is a big part of Florida's economy, you know! Whistling The Florida Wildflower Foundation does a lot of good here. I have the specialty license tag with the state wildflower, Coreopsis, on it. The extra money supports the FWF. It was the FWF that sponsored the first trip Mom and I took to Orlando Wetlands Park. They've planted lots of wildflowers there, and they've started a wildflower garden at Silver Springs. The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place the Friday evening of the symposium. FYI, the location of the symposium changes each year. Last year, it was at Leu Gardens, for example. So if you can't attend this year, pay attention in future years for where it will be held. And if you've never visited Silver Springs (like me, a NATIVE Floridian!), this seems like a pretty good reason to go!
