A page for wildflower and hiking enthusiast. A lot of my pictures, both wildflowers and scenery, come from the beautiful Tennessee State Parks. I use the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center for my description of native plants. All non-native plants will use someone else for the description. The best way to follow this blog is to enter your e-mail address below. You will receive an e-mail that looks just like the post with all the pictures.

Lance-Leaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata L.)
The pretty golden flower is 3" wide and has long narrow leaves (up to 8 inches long). This plant can be found blooming in April thru June in the Western 2/3 of Tennessee. Look at the notched ray flowers. Found in dry, open, often sandy soils. Lance-Leaf Coreopsis is listed as "occasional" as they are found in only 11-31 counties of TN.
Fabulous shot George!
