Introduction to Bays Mountain Park Wildflowers



This will be a blog about the wildflowers of Bays Mountain Park and the surrounding area in northeast Tennessee. As a naturalist at Bays Mountain Park, I have a special interest in the local wildflowers. The park has a large variety of native and exotic wildflowers that bloom from about late February to early December. Over the past several years, I have been keeping track of the bloom sequences and species found in the park. This information may be useful for enthusiasts and scientists looking for particular flowers or changes in the ecology of our area. Updates to the blog will be on an irregular basis. Spring, when many of our showy flowers bloom, is also my busiest season at work. That means I may not have time to look for flowers, or I may delay posting the flowers I do see.
