There are numerous flowers with multiple stems growing 6 or more feet tall in our yard and adjacent field. There are literally beautiful. Can't ID them with Google. No doubt the experts here will know what these beauties are. Thanks.

At the 2200 ft on the SW side of Holston Mtn. Our house faces NE with our deck facing Iron Mountain in the SE. This is in the extreme NE corner of TN. Cross Mtn connects Holston and Iron Mtn where the Appalachian Trail (AT) crosses. As the crow flies, the AT is about 2.5 miles from my deck. During Winter months, Iron Mtn is periodically capped with either snow or ice crystals with the latter displaying a beautiful Winter wonderland. We discovered a about 17 acres of land when looking for a place build in retirement. One poster described the brief scene as <God's Heavenly Acres>. <g> I agree. I've often called it Hog's Heaven. :-)

Thanks. Yours and the other responses were much quicker than I anticipated. I've told my circle of friends about the quality of the questions and the responses I've read here. It's a great source for information not otherwise gleaned from the WWW.

Thanks again, guys and girls.

You are welcome.

Is that where the weed got its name "Iron Mountain"?

The Ironweed seen in the pic Dahlia . You were too busy looking at the background to see the tall plant in front.

Hadn't made that connection but I don't think so. That said, Iron Mountain may have gotten it's name from the flower itself. Wikipedia provide more info.
