A sural nerve biopsy may be useful to enable the clinician to diagnose the etiology and underlying pathology of patients presenting with symptoms of a peripheral neuropathy, when no clear underlying cause has been determined with conventional assessment such as electrophysiology or quantitative sensory testing.
The Best Wildflower Hikes in the Great Smoky Mountains The Great Smoky Mountains are home to more than 1600 species of flowering plants. During each month of the year, some forb, tree or vine is blooming in the Smokies. During the spring, wildflowers explode during the brief window just prior to trees leafing out and shading the forest floor (from about mid-April thru mid-May).
Plants top out at 6 inches tall. This bulb appears before crocus, typically in February in Zone 7. Winter aconite is hardy in Zones 3 to 7. When placing flowers that bloom in winter in the landscape, focus on positioning them where you will see them. Think about the weather during your regionâs winter. Except in the warmest zones, youâll most likely spend the colder months indoors, so plant winter blooming flowers where you can easily see them from indoors.
