It's a Flower Garden!

Sandpiper Key's grounds have many lovely flowers, plants and trees. Hibiscus plants with their spectacular flowers are planted throughout the property. Palm trees are abundant. Live oak, Royal Poinciana, Key Lime, orange, grapefruit and avocado trees are also on the property. Orchids and bromeliads can also be found. Flowering bushes, like the Plumbago with its blue flowers, add another texture. Mangrove trees with their salt-tolerant prop roots are located at the water's edge. Take a walk on the grounds to see what other plants that you can find and identify - and take your camera for some Florida photos.

Lizards, Lizards Everywhere

You will see many little brown, beige or black lizards all around Sandpiper Key. These are Brown Anoles - also called Cuban Anoles. Males have colorful dewlaps under their chins and display them as a threat to other males or to impress the females. They will also do "push-ups" to make themselves look bigger to the other lizards. Females have a diamond pattern on their backs. If you see one that is a bright green, that will be a Green Anole. Both species mostly eat insects. Thank you, anoles!
