Several years ago the Chattanooga Valley Church of the Nazarene generously opened a walking track next to a creek on their property in Flintstone, Georgia and made it available to the public. My wife and I take advantage of that track from time to time, and have been surprised and pleased by how many wildflowers grow in the area. Yesterday was a beautiful day, so we walked the track, and I went back later to photograph the wildflowers. Here are a dozen native species blooming now along the track.

Scattered along the creekside part of the path are a number of plants of the lovely Purple-headed Sneezeweed.

Several tall patches of Hollow Joe Pye Week were beginning to bloom on the opposite bank of the creek.

Fogfruit is frequently unnoticed due to its diminutive size, but quite lovely when you take a closer look.
