Transplanting a florida dogwood

The tree shading my dogwood fell. The tree shaded my dogwood and only allowed morning sun and late afternoon. Now, my por dogwood is in full sun. I see the leaves scorched and no new growth. It's about 5ft tall.

How do I transplant this tree? Please and thank you.

Maid Marian(Rhexia Nashii)

My first time ever seeing this gorgeous flower! Quite a few at that. Larval host for the large lace border moth.

Found out the hard way these flowers are very delicate—I lightly touched a stem to make my camera focus and POOF! All petals gone.

Who else loves biking or driving down random roads to encounter cool plants? Tis easily one of my favorite pastimes in this summer heat.

Another endemic Florida cactus Opuntia Austrina

Aka the Florida prickly pear or the devils tongue they stay fairly small and thrive in full sun to a decent amount of shade beneath tree cover. They have quite a small range but where they are common 40 ish minutes west of Okeechobee they are impossible to count! All parts of the plant are edible however it produces lots of glochids as well as long barbed spines which can be annoying to get out.
