Wildflowers of the Southern Appalachian Mountains

Welcome to my website. This is a hobby, nothing for sale and no adverts. Please enjoy and feel free to save or use any photos for personal use only.

All photos in this website are taken by the author, unless otherwise credited, in and around the North Carolina Mountain counties of Henderson, Polk, and Transylvania. Thanks to Denene Barnes for some of the texts.

*** How to Use This Site ***



Browse the lists of names in the frame to the left (choose season and color list or purely alpabetical without regard to either). From those lists you may view individual photos which will appear in this frame. There are some spring family groups at the top of the lists which will open a new dead-end window.
A link back to this "Main Page" is provided at the  bottom  of the flower lists.

Flowering Trees and Shrubs  (including azalea, rhododendron, locust, roses, etc.) have been moved off this main site because of webspace limitations to Yahoo Geocities.

Please enjoy my website and have a great day!!
