Wild Flowers
p.1 #1Wild Flowers
A few blocks from my house someone appropriated a a lot that has been left empty for years and filled it with wild flowers. It's was quite a lovely surprise to stumble into them a few days ago, I had to go home and grab the camera and head back over to get some photos of them.

5, 6, 11 and 12 are my picks and very attractive Bruce. I've replaced a section of my lawn with wildflowers and it's been a delight. I'm slowly replacing more of it and get 3 seasons of joy and lots of eyes on my lawn as people walk past.

Oh that's awesome Morris, I love when people do this. We've stopped mowing and tending to our backyard and have converted it into a huge garden with a mix of some wildflowers, fruits/veggies, and other flowers my wife likes. We still keep the traditional front yard but I like the idea if turning that into wild flowers too!

Thanks! I.. don't know. I'm pretty bad with names of things. I love taking photos of insects, birds and flowers but 98% of the time I don't know any of the names of them.

Thanks. I hope to visit that spot a few times a year and I've little excuse not to, it's a few blocks away from me. I assume some different flowers will bloom through the seasons so that will keep it fresh too.
