Going Wild for Wildflowers

'Tis the season for viewing wildflowers along the Creeper. I was near Straight Branch parking area the other day and spotted some Fire Pink and others (my own identification skills are sorely lacking). The club has a number of wildflower experts. In fact, at our first meeting of the year, we had a photo presentation that featured flowers that a member had taken throughout the year along the trail. I'm told that a couple of current "hot spots" along the VCT for seeing flowers are the section from Drowning Ford Rd as you walk back toward Abingdon, and from Straight Branch as you go back toward Damascus.

If you're a wildflower watcher along the trail, please share your observations in the comments section.
