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.
