The Tunnel

Yamato Scrub Natural Area, Palm Beach County


the tunnel

This is one of our favorite parts of Yamato Scrub. This is where you'll find the skyblue lupine come late winter through mid-spring, and depending on the year, in fairly large numbers. We've seen lupine on the north tract but it's rare there. We call it the tunnel because you're enclosed within a dense stand of sand pines, the branches of which arch over head, and because when you exit it, you come to a different part of the scrub with different plants and a different look. On hot afternoons, the shade of the sand pines provides some relief — Photo by David Sedore
