Poppy Family I have found it blooming at Warriors Path State Park in Kingsport. This one was in a wildflower garden in Knoxville. The genus name is pronounced "cor-ID-alis." Annual Where seen:Knoxville, Great Smoky Mountains NP, Warriors Path SP, Ijams Nature Center
This large group of Yellow Bead Lily plants was blooming along the Appalachian Trail near Charlie's Bunion.
Lily Family Height: 6" - 15" May 29, 2006 This plant had eluded me for years, it took an 8-mile hike to Charlie's Bunion on the Appalchian Trail in the Smokies for me to finally see it in bloom. But see it I did! There were huge patches of it along the trail. Later in the year there will be blue berries where the flowers are, thus the common name "Bluebead Lily." Perennial Where found: Great Smoky Mountains NP
