Rowena Road, Jamestown, KY a wildflower & moss paradise 2018-04-07 - Between entrance to Apple Valley and Lure Lodge, Jamestown, Russell County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener . These wildflowers were in bloom on a ledge high over Rowena Road in Russell County, KY. Positive ID would be welcome. The plant fits a lot of the description of blood root, but we won't go with that without hearing from authorities. Along the short distance to the boat ramp there's Redbud already in bloom, some of the most interesting moss on the cliff sides, patches of wild irises on the roadside, and gorgeous peeps straight down and through the trees of Lake Cumberland.

KY Color - Russell Creek Bog, Cattails & Black Willow 2018-04-07 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge, President, Homeplace on Green River. Black Willow and Cattails are a sure sign of a bog or at the very least, a perennially wet area. The bog in thispicture is located just outside the Columbia city limits just off East 80. The Cattails are last years growth and will soon settle into the muck and mire to contribute to the peat layer. Already the new growth is sprouting from what Euell Gibbons' described as the "edible part" of Cattails, the root. - Billy Joe Fudge Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Redbud in bloom at Halcomb Landing Boat Ramp 2018-04-07 - Halcomb Landing Boat Ramp, by Wolf Creek Dam, Russell County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Friday, April 6, 2018, at Halcomb Landing Boat Ramp was like a cold snap on a spring vacation on the coast. It was cold - seemed like 30 degrees F. colder than on the leeward side of the hills, that is compared to shirtsleeve weather of Ky 558, Rowena Road, visited later. But the elaborate boat ramp is as much a park as it is a place to launch lake craft, a day trip destination especially for hometowners in Jamestown and Adair, Clinton, and Cumberland Counties, well worth packing a picnic and sitting a spell at the comfortable benches and picnic just down the walk from this spot. The view here is just above the dam, toward the Clinton-Russell County line. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
