The Annual Spider Lily Pilgrimage (Cahaba River Canoe Trip NWR)

Thank you so much for sharing this phenomenon before it’s overtaken. ( ie fav desert flower spots they have had to shut down). Got to experience it once in So Carolina just from the banks. A fav memory.

Luckily most of these flowers are so hard to get to being in the middle of a shallow river, and the largest Shoal is only accessible by kayak, canoe, or hiking a mile or so through the jungle. So most people never even get close to them! They really are a hidden treasure and one of the best parts of Alabama Nature lore
