The Catawba River is home to the largest known stand of the rocky shoals spider lily, a flower species found predominantly in the Southeast. Peak bloom season for the rocky shoals spider lily is during May and June.
A 1.5-mile, easy, round trip walk down the Canal Trail took the two RV Gypsies to an overlook where they viewed the spider lilies. It was a very hot day, but worth the effort.

There were not a lot of flowers
along the trail, but Karen Duquette did see a pretty one shining in
the sunshine. |
