The Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve is an urban oasis located at 2580 Pine Bluff Dr., Decatur, GA 30033. It was featured in Hiking Atlanta's Hidden Forests: Intown and Out.
Late summer is a great time to visit and see wildflowers in bloom on the outer loop of the trail. Here are some views from about a week ago.
 |
| Seedbox flower... |
 |
| ...and its namesake seed box. Each seed capsule is about 1/4" wide. Tip the seed box and tiny seeds tumble out of the opening like salt from of a salt shaker. |
 |
| Web worm moth on a goldenrod. |
 |
| Cardinal flower. |
 |
| A small white morning glory surrounded by joe pie weed. |
 |
| Asiatic dayflower lasts as long as the name implies. Also known as mouse ears. |
 |
| Late in the season, a few jewelweeds are still blooming |
 |
| Sowing next year's wildflowers... |
