Tennessee and the American mid-south is glowing with the wild flowers and the summer. Bright, beautiful, wild and wide spread, these wild flowers bloom from April through July most of the time. The occasional rain often drowns these blooms but next speck of the sun brings them into full blossom immediately.
The farms along the backroads of Tennessee and Mississippi are great places to observe these vast, often flat lands filled with the mid-southern wildflowers.

Rain dropped all the buttercups in these fields along the backroads of Memphis. A little sun would bring them back in an instant.

Several Tennessee state parks also have their own native wildflowers. Another great place, a favorite of nature lovers, which also has some very unique and native wild flowers as well as a wide spread rhododendrons, is the region around the Smoky Mountains, especially the Cades Cove areas.
