Wildflower of Kentucky: Yellow Spring Flowers on Dunbar Hill 2016-04-15 - Elkhorn Road, KY 76, Knifley, Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. This was a 'go back' flower - spotted while headed west on KY 76 going up Dunbar Hill. We turned back on Tucker Woods Road to photograph these yellow flowers, hoping to identify them using all the references we've been given, but the closest thing, after a half-hour search was evening primrose and we don't trust that. Maybe Billy Joe Fudge will come up with a class on Wildflower identification at the next HGR Plow Day. Maybe someone knows of an App you just show the picture and it gives ID and more information than you can process about any flower. For now, we're not proud. We don't know. But would like to know the proper name, hoping it is "Yellow flower, Dunbar Hillis. - EW.

Wildflowers of Kentucky: Beautiful lavender violets 2016-04-15 - Spout Springs at Giles House, Knifley, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, CM photo. Diminutive, maybe, but spectacular in their own way. Clumps of pale lavender violets dot the hillside above Spout Springs by the Giles House near Knifley. Love the setting. When I got home and edited the photo, I found I was not alone. Maybe you can spot an unexpected companion under the leaves in the front center of the picture? - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
