Bro it’s a literal weed. It grows in a ditch. This is a personal problem. Don’t blame the plant man.

Better pics of the field collections.
Ludwigia alata:
Ludwigia pilosa:
Ludwigia sp.:
Saururus cernuus:
Murdannia keisak:
Habenaria repens:
Pluchea foetida:
Proserpinaca palustris:
Bacopa innominata:
Acmella repens:
Senega cymosa:
I hope this thread inspires you to join the AGA, get outside, and start observing plants. Every single specimen in this post was observed and preserved from a natural area in my local-ish region in effort to share a niche slice of beauty to like minds.

and to insult and ridicule innocent bystanders like myself, yes correct.
The alata looks so awesome I really wish I could have made it work lol

Forgot the picture on that one I guess.
Noteworthy observations this week.
Marshallia graminifolia:
Habenaria repens:
Carphephorus carnosus:
Local moss that I have not been able to identify yet. I picked up a clip on macro lens to help. As it turns out, you can’t really ID moss with any degree of certainty without one.
Conoclinium coelestinum
Octoblepharum sp:

Love that moss, terrestrial or it was submerged?

It was growing on a root structure of a tree near the bottom of a slow moving creek. This portion was nearly completely submerged and looks like it had been growing that way for a while. I’ve kept some samples submersed, and some emersed in higher humidity to see the change in form. I’m fairly confident I’ve narrowed the genus to Vesicularia.

Not sure how I have missed this thread. I feel like it should be required viewing for any new forum member. 
Thanks for making all the effort it takes to post. I'm following now.

Some recent pics. Ventured out of the wetlands the other day and found some near Florida endemic upland/scrub plants.
Carphephorus corymbosus:
Eryngium aromaticum:
Euphorbia polyphylla, with its little pineapple hat:
Polygonella ciliata:
Praxelis clematidea (technically an invasive weed in Florida, originating from South America).

When I saw you posted an update, a smile of excitement crossed my face to see what you had come across and found as of late.
Great finds!!

My other old friends have fallen into the bird watching trap. I refuse to give in to that stereotype. This post has given me new purpose. Now, every time a friend pulls out their bird call app to tell me what bird we're hearing, I'm going to point out what plant we're looking at.
Have you seen those birdfeeders now with the cameras? Basically a doorbell camera for your feeder anytime something drops by for some seed. It’s pretty neat, you even get other visitors you’re not expectingMy other old friends have fallen into the bird watching trap. I refuse to give in to that stereotype.

Don't need that. This guy comes right up to my sunroom window to say Hi.Have you seen those birdfeeders now with the cameras? Basically a doorbell camera for your feeder anytime something drops by for some seed. It’s pretty neat, you even get other visitors you’re not expecting
I first saw this and I thought, Is that a new aquarium plant? I have GOT to have it!
Oh well
I have one of these that used to sit on top of my bird feeder stand looking for birds to eat. Gave an ironic morbid twist to "bird feeder."

I’ve definitely dunked a lot of plants that I knew (probably) would not work. But the. There are some that surprise and blow me away. Some of those success stories:
Pluchea foetida:
Hyptis alata:
Eriocaulon compressum (this wasn’t surprising really, just astounded at how beautiful it turns out):
Ludwigia suffruticosa:
Habenaria repens:
And my personal favorite easy green, Bacopa innominata:
