Parkway South – August 24, 2018
Great drive. LOTS of plants & pictures! Includes stops at Wagon Road Gap, Log Hollow Overlook, and Wolf Mountain Overlook. The Balsam Mountain Gentian (Gentiana latidens) weren’t blooming yet, but you should be able to see Ken’s previous video of a bee entering a flower in the link at the bottom of the page.
