Appalachian Native Wild Flowers<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

by Lynda McKinney Lambert, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From mid-August to fall<\/span><\/p>\n

Yellow jackets and wasps<\/span><\/p>\n

dance with intoxication<\/span><\/p>\n

as they sip nectar<\/span><\/p>\n

from Mountain Angelicas\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

greenish-purple flower cups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lacey bright sea-green<\/span><\/p>\n

Lady ferns shimmer<\/span><\/p>\n

in late afternoon sunshine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aromatic White Asters<\/span><\/p>\n

mingle like overgrown weeds<\/span><\/p>\n

beside woodland deer path.<\/span><\/p>\n

American Goldfinches dine<\/span><\/p>\n

on tiny seeds dropped by<\/span><\/p>\n

Appalachian native wildflowers.<\/span><\/p>\n
