I love the fields with the large blue patches of Lyre-leaf Sage, frequently mixed with the yellows of buttercups and the whites of daisies and fleabanes.

The Pocket at Pigeon Mountain Wildflower Update – 04-10-2018 – 41 Species
I’ve been out of town a couple of times since my last report – over 2 weeks since then – so I didn’t know what I’d find at The Pocket when I headed down there today. But it was plenty, and well worth the trip. I counted 41 species blooming. While Purple Phacelia may be the most prolific bloomer right now, the highlight for me was the beautiful, near-peak of the Wild Hyacinth. (Click here for all Pocket status reports.)
