Wildflowers

          There are hundreds upon hundreds of diverse wildflowers that bloom throughout the park most of the year, with the earliest breaking winter's chill in March and the last lingering into November until the freeze returns. Week to week there is constant turnover among the park's flora as vibrant colors explode and fade, adding to the Smokies amazing beauty and biodiversity. They can be found everywhere in the park, from high in the trees, at eye level, or covering the forest floor. They all vary in size, abundance, and longevity.
