Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Blue what?

At first I noticed these strange pods along a walk.



How can those spindly leaves and stems produce such large globular seed pods?

Then there were these blue beauties blooming right on the same stems...so I'm a bit closer to knowing what they are... do you?

      I'm pretty sure it's one of the Nigela plants. (I cheated and checked on line)

    My friend Martha just wrote me that they are bachelor buttons. I'm not sure, but she's grown just about every flower!
