June 24 Roan Mountain Garden


Atop Roan Mountain is a wonderful garden of Catabwa Rhododendron. It is a Tennessee State Park. You're within shouting distance of North Carolina. The paved and dirt paths wind through the Rhododendron bushes.


An Elderberry Longhorn beetle looks for something to eat.


We saw many bushes like this one. Our afternoon plans were to hike out on the balds and view more bushes but the rain came again today and washed that idea away.


It looks like someone placed these golden asters in an arrangement.
