It's a non-native wildflower that was introduced to our region after the arrival of Europeans. Regardless, its lovely and quite prolific in Pocahontas County.<br /> Our eyes see many beautiful wonders here in the mountains!

Do you ever get to come back? It wold be so nice to meet you.<br /><br />OK, so deborah and DGranna, you two might be related! There weren't so many people in Pocahontas county that long ago. <br /><br />The bing brothers are outstading. Tim has won many awards for his banjo playing and I freely admit to being a groupie. These guys are just good, and good people too. <br /><br />I don't think it's coltsfoot, deborah, at least not what we cal coltsfoot in this area. You know how it is with flower names; they change from region to region. This is a tall flower, about 18"-3'. Coltsfoot usually hugs the ground closer than that.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-58386728013079609772010-06-24T23:31:53.451-04:002010-06-24T23:31:53.451-04:00My grandfather's ancestors were also from that...My grandfather's ancestors were also from that county in the early 1800's.

I never lived there but have a tugging that makes me want to go back.<br />Daneille DGranna GrimesDGrannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922119945586845352noreply@blogger.com
