Lake Lure Flowering Bridge

My wife and I stopped by the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge (http://lakelurefloweringbridge.org/) this past Saturday (8/6). This is a favorite day trip destination of ours. As gardeners we always love to see what is blooming at the bridge and also look at any new additions. Furthermore, with the hundreds of flowers there is a constant diversity of insects and other critters around the bridge. A great place for some casual observation of native pollinators. If you are ever in the area of Western NC, this is a great little stop, right near the Chimney Rock State Park.

The flowering bridge really is a lovely place which I just visited this past October for the first time. I'm going to send you a message with the link to the YouTube video I made about it.
