Leaves and Limestone: October is Native Plant Month

Jennifer Mason Contributor October is native plant month! Now is a wonderful time to get out and take a drive through Jefferson County’s lovely countryside to admire the wildflowers! There is a dizzying array of yellow asters blooming now – all to feed the butterflies that are here now. Swamp sunflower (Helianthus angustifolius) is a tall, showy fall wildflower that brightens the autumn landscape. Photo by Jennifer Mason[/
