Wildflower Journal
Wildflower: A flowering plant that grows without cultivation.This is a journal of my discovery of wildflowers, which not only will provide my memory (since the biological memory is failing more and more,) but also can be a valuable record as to when certain wildflowers will be in bloom.

04/11/2009 The Pocket – Status Update
Posted on April 13th, 2009 No comments
To avoid crowds like those that were on the Shirley Miller Trail at The Pocket on Pigeon Mountain last week, I headed down there early Saturday morning, arriving at the parking area shortly after 8 AM. The sky was overcast, but the wind was low – a good situation for wildflower photography. My first stop was the dogwood tree beside the parking area.The Pocket Bellwort, Blue Cohosh, Chickweed, Columbine, Dogwood, Foamflower, Iris, Jack in the Pulpit, Mandarin, Phlox, Purple Phacelia, Rue Anemone, Spurge, Squawroot, Stonecrop, Toothwort, Trailing Trillium, Violets, Virginia Bluebell, White Trillium, Wild Geranium, Wild Hyacinth, Wood Betony, Wood Poppy -
04/04/2009 The Pocket – CVPC Keenagers
Posted on April 4th, 2009 No comments
Due to rain and obligations, it had been 9 days since I’d been down to The Pocket at Pigeon Mountain. Today was the Chattanooga Valley Presbyterian Church’s Keen-agers’ annual (I think) wildflower hike at The Pocket, so at 10 AM I joined the other folks in my age group at the church, and soon we headed on down to Pigeon Mountain. I returned from the hike with 381 photographs; two of them with people in them. After an initial run through the photographs, I’ve deleted about 150 of them; both photos of people remain. -

02/16/2009 The Pocket
Posted on February 16th, 2009 No commentsOK, maybe I can be a little obsessive with some things. It was cold, but Sam agreed to run down to The Pocket with me so I wouldn’t miss something at its early stages. I’m really hoping to get photos of most of the wildflowers at The Pocket at several different stages in their development. It had only been a few days, but things had changed.

Posted on February 13th, 2009 No commentsFriday the 13th; it had been a warm week, so I wanted to see how things were developing at The Pocket, so Cindy and I made the trip down there. Many more fresh leaves that I recognized had sprung up, and the Toothworts now wore more than just buds. Read the rest of this entry »
