Prairie Grove Cedar Glade

Common Buttercup


 On Sunday, we were heading to a herb walk over at TVA and decided to go on a little early to stop at Prairie Grove Cedar Glade on the other side of Moulton.  We have been there a few times, but not in spring, I was excited to see the area and it did not disappoint!

Karst topography is my very favorite, I love a cedar glade and this is the largest intact one in the entire state of Alabama.  And it's out there in Lawrence County of all places-just waiting to be visited.  There are 11 endangered wildflowers blooming here, not all in the spring, some are summer and fall bloomers.
