LISTS

This page contains the Master Plant List - A list of the flowering plants of Western North Carolina aranged in simple alphabetic order by common name. The following links below are simply a different way of looking at the same information. The Color/Type is probably the best way to look for a flower that you've seen, but don't know what plant it is. The Bloom Time list gives you (and me) a good idea of what may be starting to bloom in the area for a given month.

Plant List by Flower Color and Type (This is a visual identification, and takes a bit to download, but useful for identifying plants when you have no idea what it is)

FLOWERING PLANT OF THE WEEK
This week's chosen-by-me flowering plant is actually a parasite. It is dodder which is actually represented by a group of plants in the area and around the world. To find out more about this fascinating little twisty plant that sometimes forms spaghetti-like masses and has been named "devil's guts," go here.


FLOWERING PLANTS AND SHRUBS - MASTER LIST

Rather than trying to break down these plants into monocots and dicots and perennials and such, i'll just lump them together because i'd just rather for now. The list is in alphabetic order by common name, or rather, by the name i've become familiar with to identify them. The genus and species name is included to help remove doubt about which plant is which. Remember, this is not meant to be an all-inclusive list, even for WNC, but a list of plants in the area i hope to get pictures of. Also, there are shrubs such as the Rhododendrons and even plants considered trees such as Witch-Hazel.
