Tanawha trail at Grandfather mtn, NC

“http://community.webshots.com/album/141679728dmfoZh

These are from my hike on Mother's day with evergreen.
I had a blast and if anyone can help me with the proper names of the flowers in the photos I would appreciate it.”

“Tanawha Trail

glad you had a good weekend Rox. Wish I could help on the flowers.”

“Thanks for taking a look Ewker... still don't know how to do that link thing...”

“I always enjoy checking out other people's pics. It gives me ideas of some other places I want to go. You guys have a ton of places in western NC”

“Yes I figure I could live here the rest of my days and if I choose to I could never hike a trail over twice.”

“Great pix! Thanks for sharing them. Looks like you ladies had a fine time! Good way to celebrate Mothers Day.

I'm going to try to tell you what your flowers are.
Red flower= red trillium (wake robin)
White flower with red stripe in center= Painted trillium
The glossy green flowers you photo'd in huge masses...... are Clinton's lillies. They will have either a pretty yellow or white bloom. I've never seen THAT many in one place before!
The pink and white shrub I believe may be Sand myrtle. I am 98% sure. Can't see the leaves and blooms in great detail. Looks like what grows up on Mt. LeConte.
Tiny purple flower among green leaves= violet
The fringey leaves with the cuts and the blue cast are probably Dutchmans Breeches. they aren't blooming but their bloom season is past by several weeks. Hope that helps.”

“Thanks a bunch Dana I will go back and label them, good to know.
We did enjoy and except for a lightening storm we weren't worried...”

“there's a great wildflowe database out there, the url is: http://www.2bnthewild.com/

I like it because you can even search by flower color.

great pics rox!”

“Great pictures, thanks for sharing them. Sounds like you and Evergreen had a nice hike even with the rain.”

“Thanks Gemini I will check out that link.
Yeah Skiracer it was a great day.. we only got rained on that last mile...so I was happy.”

“Oh yes. I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you... the pink one is pink hybrid azalea or pinkster flower.”

“got it...I can't work on the album till after school...dang firewall..but I will make the changes
Thanks!!”
