Wildflower or weed? in Smoky Mountains
Comments (4)Don't be so dependant on whether others consider it a weed or not. If you like it, keep it. If you think about it, even "weeds" are wildflowers, just not ones that you particularly like....See MoreSmokies Salamanders
Comments (4)Dave-If you are talking about Gum Swamp, we went there, but it was mostly dried up and the few logs that I flipped produced nothing. I'm sure there were better areas in Cades Cove, but we spent so much time in traffic we didn't have time to check them out. Dan-The one I called a pigmy was very small (only about an 1.5in) and I thought Ocoees had a straight line down their backs not wavy like this one. I found a couple of pigmys that were obviously pigmys (typical yellow chevrons) but then I found some small ones like this that just had a wavy red or yellow line down the back. I knew the one below the Jordan's was some type of dusky, because of the line from its eye to jaw. I guess I just didn't know that imitators got that big. Thanks for the ID. Can anybody tell me what the first 5 dusky pics are? I imagine they are probably a mix of Ocoees, imitators, and Santeetlahs (because of the high elevation)....See MoreFall in the Smoky Mountains Advice, Please
Comments (20)It seems you are looking for a place where you can cook some meals if you like, but be close to places of interest during the day. I highly recommend the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. How many adults/children will be with you? There are some places that have several cabins close together. Most of them have grills and hot tubs on the porches. It's my favorite vacation destination. It's so relaxing. I've been there with DH and his brother's family and also a couple of my sisters and used to "run away" for a week together. So much fun. One thing to remember is that almost every realtor in that area specializes in cabin rentals and that's the route we've always taken--after the first time when we got stuck in the most remote, windiest road cabin in the state of NC :-) You are in for such a treat if you've not been there before. Pigeon Forge has Dollywood, several really nice outlet malls, water parks, etc. Gatlinburg has the scary ski lift cars that take you across the valley to another mountain. (I wouldn't have done it, but the guys feed me a couple of beers at the ice rink just before.) In the pictures I look pretty darned happy :-) Lots more shopping in Gatlinburg, too. Every time we've been to Cades Cove we've seen deer and bears. There is a sweet really old church and cemetary on the 11 mile ride around it. And other points of interest where you can park and look around inside. The old cemetary was really interesting to me. Oh, and if you see a lot of cars pulled over onto the side of the road, that usually means they're watching bears. So cool!! Gosh, now you have me aching to go NC!!...See MoreOnly one new one today: Smoky Mt. Autumn
Comments (11)I grew it for years. The shifting colors were always beautiful, and that smokey layer was so unusual. It was one of the last to bloom here; being a bud builder it just kept hanging in there. Learned after a few years not to cut the scapes down too soon. Mine finally bit the dust over winter one year (in a pot outside), and just no room to add it again. I would if I could..........Maryl...See More
