    In Floyd County just off route 8, a meadow of yellow and pink wildflowers is one of the sites for a new project, called Floyd Flower Power. Floyd isn’t the only place in southwest Virginia with flower projects in the works. A regional initiative across 20 counties, called Plant Southwest Virginia Natives, is working to promote the abundance of flowers and plants that thrive here.
