The Flowers Story
In 1905, at the tender age of two, Joshua Percy Flowers moved to the area known today as Flowers Plantation.

Mr. Flowers was active in business, civic life and local and state politics. Mr. Flowers raised champion walker hounds, owning more than 300 by the time of his death in 1982. He and his wife, Delma Whitley Flowers, had two children; a son, son, Percy Jr., killed in a private plane accident in 1952 and a daughter, Rebecca Flowers, who initiated development of Flowers Plantation in 1978 and continues at the helm today.
