Titusville Balm (Dicerandra thinicola)
Endemic to Brevard County, Florida, Titusville Balm is a state-listed endangered wildflower with a limited 30-mile range. From October to December, its bright pink, two-lipped flowers with dark stripes or spots attract small to medium-sized bees, playing a vital role in local pollination.
This prolific bloomer thrives after a fire, producing abundant seeds that help ensure its survival despite individual plants living only about three years. Protecting this rare species highlights the importance of conserving Florida’s unique ecosystems.
