The Great Smoky Mountains Association has just posted its first wildflower report of the season dated March 7.
It appears that the blooms will be late this year, which probably surprises no one. Today I found nothing blooming on the Jakes Creek Trail. I did check out the first quarter of a mile of Chestnut Top and found: 2 Spring Beauty blooms, a Long Spurred Violet in bloom and a few Star Chickweed in bloom. The Plantain Leaf Pussy Toes were budded. A week ago on Little Bottoms Trail I found a couple of Common Cinquefoil blooming.
