Wildflowers of Western Kentucky is a full color guide to the wildflowers of western and central Kentucky and surrounding regions, with photos and descriptions of more than 210 wildflower species. The new look for the site is complete! The individual wildflowers have now been classified by season. There are now 18-36 thumbnails per page rather than 50, in order to speed up download times over slower modems; however, the original four pages are still available through links at the bottom of this page. I plan to eventually eliminate these pages unless there are many people who would like for me to keep them up. Clicking on any thumbnail on any page (except this one) will bring up a full-sized picture, name, scientific name and a brief description.

NEWS:-- a hike is scheduled for Saturday, October 7 at Eastview Barrens State Nature Preserve in Grayson county, KY. Registration is via e-mail or by telephone (leave message) at 859-271-2410.
