What beautiful memories of 2012 Raleigh spring. Una and I also enjoyed the buttercups along the greenway. John, do you know what the big blooms that look like Hibiscus are? from the stretch between Bain and Lake Wheeler Road. They are large white blossoms on tall single stalks.
The flowers Mart Pat refers to are swamp mallow - on the wonderful wetland stretch of greenway between Fayetville and Saunders.
