It’s not too late to see the foliage change and the seasonal flowers bloom along the Blue Ridge Parkway this season! According to VirtualBlueRidge.com, “wildflowers still dominate many areas, as Sunflower, Ironweed, Goldenrod, Beebalm, and Joe-Pye Weed light up the roadside especially in the agricultural lands adjacent to the Parkway.”
But catch the color while you can because the strong rain and wind expected later this week will force the leaves to decorate more of the ground than the trees themselves.
