I was hoping for a bloom report of our area and found there was none last year. I decided to do it myself.
Welcome to Botanical Bliss--The Bloom Report 2008. This is the second bloom season I've posted this report. I will keep the photojournal and bloom report updated. Get out there and enjoy the great outdoors and see what's blooming! The report focuses on the Great Smoky Mountains, Blount Co, TN, and the surrounding area.

magicmomma > Happy to welcome all wildflower and outdoor enthusiasts back to the 1st edition this season of Botanical Bliss--The Bloom Report. The 2008 Spring wildflower bloom season has begun at last.  Yesterday I continued working on my 900 Miler by completing Chestnut Top Trail from beginning to end. It is 4.3 miles long and a very pretty, easy trail. The best wildflower bloom is in the first 1/2 mile of it starting at the Townsend Wye for anyone who is short on time.  http://tinyurl.com/2lrzu8
