Buttercup Family This was one of those, "Oh my gosh, I've got to stop the car and get a picture!" moments when I spied these beautiful yellow flowers growing in Fountain City (part of Knoxville). This particular neighborhood was covered in these pretty yellow flowers. I need a bumper sticker that says, "Caution - I Brake For Wildflowers!" to warn those behind me! :)
Buttercup Family INN These pretty flowers can grow in the woods in damp areas or along the roadsides in marshes. These were growing in Fountain City, TN in early April. Perennial Where seen:Knoxville, Ijams Nature Center
Lily Family The flowers of the Yellow Mandarin hang down beneath the leaves, so they are easy to overlook. Look for these at Frozen Head in mid-April. Perennial Where seen:Frozen Head SP, Piney River Trail, Great Smoky Mountains NP, Haw Ridge
