The Little Cahaba River flows through Bibb County, Alabama, about 30 miles south of Tuscaloosa. The water is fast but shallow, supporting knee-high clumps of white flowers in the springtime, Cahaba Lilies, which grow from cracks in the rocks of the riverbottom. Alabamians sometimes claim that these lilies are unique to the Cahaba watershed, but this is apparently incorrect; they also grow in a river in Georgia. Maybe with global warming they will soon follow us to Maine.
