Wildflowers of KY: Increasingly rare roadway trumpet vine

Trumpet vines are beautiful, but need discipline. Less than four years ago, they brightened byways in Adair County, and were provided restraint by passing vehicles and relatively gentle mowing on the roadway, and by cultivation of row crops and pastures on farmers' sides of fences. Cultivated with extreme control, the plants provide beauty in a way few others can. Perhaps its most valuable purpose is as a cover for beautiful old structures no longer in use, but which provide reassuring sights for those comforted by their presence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campsis_radicans Comments | Permalink

Strange tree shapes preserved on Wheat Road/CR #1161

More than one unique trees are preserved alongside Wheat Road/Adair County Road #1161, a .896 mile shortcut from Sano Road to Russell Springs Highway which is loaded with delightful scenery, courtesy of land owners who take extreme pride in their gardens and property. The tree in the center is the focal point. It's hard to figure out whether the unique elbow is a long legged giant's seat, a place to hang a swing, or just trained that way to perplex people. On up the ascending trunk, there's what appears to be a Needles Eye. - EW Comments | Permalink
