| The diverse flora of the
Eastern States of the USA has many jewels which can be found by the
roadside, in the meadows and deep into the woods. During my travels
throughout Kentucky and the surrounding states of West Virginia,
Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina, I have been fortunate enough to
see many wildflowers which I would like to share with you. I hope
you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed putting these pages together
for you.
Once again, my indebtedness to Sherba Nelson for her knowledge. encouragement and sense of adventure, goes without saying. Without her, none of this would have been possible. |
