Early Wildflowers

April and May are the time when the wildflowers bloom here.The bloom season at Oconee Sation, SC (40 minutes drive from LV) is 3 weeks to a month ahead of Cashiers. In the

Smoky Mountains the season at higher elevations will run 3 weeks behind LV. So from April thru May you can see the full range of flowers somewhere. Newcombe's Wildflower Guide is

the best reference for our area.
