EP: 451 | The Story of the Beautiful Cahaba Lilies

Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

This week we are joined by native plant specialist Kyle Lybarger and Cahaba Riverkeeper David Butler and we learn about a really unique and special plant. The Cahaba River Lilies bloom each spring and attract world wide attention. Once upon a time, many southern rivers had these lilies blooming on their shoals in the spring. Today only a few places still have them.  These delicate white blooms create a sea of white along the shoals of the Cahaba River in their remaining places. Why? Because of mans influence the rivers and water levels have changed dramatically and eliminated the habitat these shoal lilies need. Thankfully we have people like David Butler and others that are fighting to help preserve the plants, habitat and the river.  We think you will agree the story is amazing.
