Buttercup Family I found these flowers blooming at the base of Piney Falls in Grandview during mid-July. The basal (lower) leaves of this plant are quite large. The flowers look much like those of Black Cohosh. A close-up picture follows. Perennial Where seen:Piney Falls SNA, Great Smoky Mountains NP
Ginseng Family This was plant #1500 on my life-list! I found it while hiking on the Piney River trail in late July. Perennial Where seen:Piney River Pocket Wilderness, Great Smoky Mountains NP
