What Will You Find Here????
You will find digital photographs of wild flowers from the Great Smoky Mountains (GSM) and Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP). Photographs have been taken with a Sony Digital Mavica FD91 Camera by an amateur photographer. Brief description will be given of each flower, including blooming time, and locations found (except for rare or endangered plants). Blooming season varies depending on elevation and weather conditions. As much as possible, the following photographs have been organized sequentially to coincide with the blooming times beginning in March and ending in October.
