Green Buttonwood leaf. One day I hope to draw every species of native plants that are growing on my property. This green buttonwood is one of my favorites b/c it provides a great habitat for the native florida orchids. It's fast growing and had really helped fill in the spots where I've taken out the Brazilian Pepper (devil plant!). The Buttonwoods are part of phase one of rebuilding the native habitat destroyed by exotics and hurricane Wilma. I really should have drawn an entire branch to really get a feel for how beautiful this tree is.
