Ponce de Leon discovering the Fountain of YouthThe naming of Florida is credited to Ponce de Leon who christened this land in 1513 with a Spanish term Pascua Florida, meaning “feast of flowers” which was also another word for Easter. With this in mind I thought it fitting to showcase a photo gallery of flowers that we observed today on this most splendid Palm Sunday.
The photographs were taken in two state parks about ten miles apart (Camp Helen and Eden Gardens) where the signs of spring were everywhere in evidence. Have a Happy Easter week everyone!
