Summer Meadow

My front yard is a wild flower meadow. If you have been reading my blog for awhile, then you know I love these unruly blooms. While most folks love their green lawns, my “lawn” is filled with dollops of color that erupt in the best places. Some folks might call those drops of color weeds, but I beg to differ as weeds are unwanted, and my wild flowers are definitely wanted and cherished!

 Salsify
 Indian Paintbrush

 Flax
 3-Spot Lily
 Winter Cress
Lupine
It takes a certain type of bravery to have a meadow for a front yard. Some folks just don’t understand how beautiful the flowers can be. Lastly, you have to admit that a summer meadow is a lot more colorful than a ordinary green lawn!
