With Wildflower Season winding down and because of this I only do one blog for the three months of Autumn why not a special to fill the gap? There is nothing more special than a Wildflower Blog featuring three of my favorites...Flame Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and Mountain Laurel. Back in Spring, I didn't know if there would be special because of the COVID Crisis. But, I did get out and saw Mountain Laurel at Buffalo Mountain and the new hotspot of White House Cliffs at Rocky Fork State Park.
However, the big event was going to the Roan Highlands during the flower season. Here, I got to see plenty of Flame Azaleas and Catawba Rhododendrons. So, with that said here are some of the special flowers I saw for this wildflower blog special, enjoy...
