Beach Express RV Park

Introducing a new series: Nature in Focus! Every week we will highlight an animal or plant that you can find right here at Graham Creek Nature Preserve.

Today we are highlighting the Orange Milkwort! Orange Milkworts are also commonly known as Bog Cheetos, due to their small clusters of orange blooms. This small wildflower is currently blooming at the preserve!

Fun Fact: Orange milkwort seeds are typically spread by ants. Their seeds contain elaiosomes, which the ants like to eat since they are protein rich. The ants consume the elaiosomes but leave the seed intact.

Swing by the preserve and see if you can find Bog Cheetos out on our trails!

Red, white, blue, and plenty to do! 🎉 The Star Spangled 250th Spectacular takes over Downtown OWA this July 4th with a parade, live entertainment, and a fireworks finale you won’t want to miss.
