Exhibit 9
Deep and high in the Cherokee National Forest, we saw a very interesting vine with seed pods. Just over the mountain is private property, so this plant could be an escapee from someone's yard or garden. I thought it was unusual and made a very pretty picture framed against the late winter/early spring background. Photo: March 23, 2006

Exhibit 6
Clingman's Dome area has a large array of flowering plants. Also, it is pleasant to visit this high mountain ecosystem because of the cool temperatures and serendipitous sightings of interesting flowers. Especially confusing to me are the many asters, sunflowers, and daisies, one of which is pictured here. Photo: July 27
Exhibit 5
My son and I spotted this leafless shrub-like plant blooming on Roundtop Trail near Metcalf Bottoms. We had gone to check on the progress of the pink lady slippers whose pine tree canopy has been endangered by the pine beetle. The leathery blossoms of this plant are about the size of the Virginia Harebell blossom. Photo: April 13, 2006
