Cover Photo: There isn't a more beautiful scrub flower than Florida native Skyblue Lupine. It's rare in South Florida, found in only a handful of conservation areas. Yamato Scrub Natural Area, fortunately, has more of it than any other place we've been to. In fact, its main trail is named after the flower, so out of the many possibilities we could have picked to represent the Yamato Scrub, we can't think of anything that would be more a appropriate choice.
