Spring Flowers...

[Lurch]

Hello All!

I'm trying to find specific sections of the A.T. in GA/NC that are can't-miss areas for viewing spring flower blooms...I'm taking my wife on her first overnight hike May 16-17 and really want to impress her with views and flowers (which would make future overnights more likely ; )

Thanks as always for your help!

I remember May as being an absolutely fabulous time for wild flowers hiking around Blood Mountain and north bound. Azaleas, trillium, smaller flowers that I don't remember names of, but May was the month. Good luck with it.

There is a book - "Wildflowers of the Appalachian Trail" that would tell you specifically when they were blooming, what they were, and what section to look for them on.

Thanks everyone! Three very good suggestions there...
