[TN-Bird] Lilly Bridge, Morgan County, TN

I visited Lilly Bridge over Clear Fork River in Morgan County, TN just west 
of Wartburg on May 20, 2007.  This place is incredible!  The first thing I 
saw was a small brown butterfly with white lines feeding on a flowering 
Ninebark shrub.  It tunred out to be an Eastern Pine Elfin, a life 
butterfly.  The Ninebark was common along the river- all of it in bloom 
along with a plant I have only seen once before- Fringe-tree.  Fringe-tree 
was also common in this location.  Sweetshrub or Calycanthus was common and 
in bloom.  The leaves were not hairy suggesting it was Calycanthus floridus 
variaty glauca.  The flower on the plant was different from the sweetshrub 
photos in the flower guides.  The flowers were yellow instead of 
reddish-brown.  Cumberland Rosemary was found to be common in a rock bar.  
They are currently not flowering.  They did not smell of rosemary but did 
taste like rosemary.  Leatherwood, Arrow Wood (Viburnum dentatum), and 
Viburnum cassinoides or nudum were also common.  There was a few woody 
plants I could not properly identify due to the lack of time so a return 
trip is in order.
