Alabama Wildflowers In St Clair And Talladega Counties
Selling homes in St Clair and Talladega Counties has it perks; while regularly traveling the county roads I have seen some of the most beautiful Alabama Wildflowers that had an abundance of color this spring thru summer. The fall season is approaching, and the area is still providing a beautiful array of natural color.
I have done some research into trying to identify some of the area wildflowers. While doing this, I have found some interesting facts. Alabama ranks eighth nationally with 2,851 native plant species. The wildflowers in the state are in a steep decline. With the human population growing, so are the development of new sub divisions and they are destroying the wildflowers natural habitat. This along with other factors including the explosion of the deer population, overgrazing is also depleting the region of wild flowers.
When driving around in St Clair and Talladega Counties, I have been tempted to pick some of these beautiful Alabama Wildflowers. Had I done this I would have been part of the problem in helping to inhibit the plants from reproducing, by not seeding. When you see these beautiful Alabama Wildflowers in St Clair and Talladega County, do not remove them from their native areas. It is our responsibility to protect our natural heritage for generations to come.
