Snapdragon Family Aquatic Rare - Endangered in TN As the name implies, this tiny-flowered, pale blue Speedwell lives on streambanks. This one was blooming in a drainage ditch along the Oak Ridge Turnpike. I have to take pictures in some strange places sometimes! Annual? Where seen:University of Tennessee Arboretum; Oak Ridge
Parsley Family Height: 1' May 23, 2005 This plant closely resembles its relative the Black Snakeroot. The flowers bloom on short stalks on this plant. The leaves are made up of 3 leaflets, thus the species name, trifoliata.
Parsley Family Height: 1' to 4' These little green flowers are not very noticible or interesting. These plants can be very prolific where they grow. I found these on the Haw Ridge trail in late April. Some areas of the trail was thickly covered with them. Perennial Where seen:Frozen Head SP, Haw Ridge Greenway, University of Tennessee Arboretum, Great Smoky Mountains NP, Warriors' Path SP, Cumberland Trail
