Wild Flowers of The Natchez Trace Parkway

I imagine every season brings its own style of beauty to the forest, fields, meadows, rivers, and streams that make up the 400-mile Natchez Trace Parkway. We were lucky enough to be here in the middle of Spring, and were treated to a fantastic display of wildflowers! We delighted in flowers of red, yellow, white, purple, and blue, showcased in fields, on decaying logs, in shady groves, and popping up in sunny places on the forest floor. Wrapping up my Natchez Trace blog entries is this wildflower display of Butterweed, Crimson Clover, Daisy Fleabane, Dogwood, May Apple, Ox-eye Daisy, Scaly Blazing Star Thistle, White Daffodil, Wild Blue Phlox, Wood Ear fungus, False Solomon's Seal, Bluebells, Wild Rose, and others I was unable to identify, but are beautiful none-the-less.
