Notes: Polanisia tenuifolia (Pineland catchfly, Slenderleaf clammyweed) at Juno Dunes Natural Area. This intricate little flower gets her name from insects sticking to the viscous glandular secretions of the plant. Taking a magnifying glass along on hikes makes it easier to appreciate little gems like this.
