6/25/08 - Along the roads to Smith Mountain Lake

It was another nice day in Roanoke, and though not as cool as it has been in the past week, it was not too hot either. So, I took the opportunity to head to Smith Mountain Lake for the day. The wildflowers below are what I found either along the roadsides, or at Smith Mountain Lake.






The flowers above, as best I can tell, are Coreopsis ariculata, also known as Nana Coreopsis.


The flowers above are called Everlasting Pea, or Lathyrus latifolius. These grow in large clumps of vines.



The flowers above are the relatively easy to find Black-eyed Susan, or Rudbeckia hirta.


This flower is known as a Lance-leaved Coreopsis, Coreopsis lanceolata.
