Wildflower Meadow

Last November, we made another drastic change to the yard. By hand, we spent about a week raking and maddocking all the mostly dead St. Augustine grass off the leach field, a little over 1,000 sq ft of area. After removing all the plant material and loosening the soil in the process, we raked the soil level. Finally, we scattered both native grass and wildflower seeds. We had to water it a few times during the hot dry weather to get the seed going, but we have been fortunate to get enough rain showers this winter to keep things moist. A green haze is finally covering the bare soil so we went out to investigate what has come up.
So far we have found:

Spurred Snapdragon

Baby Blue Eyes

Bachelor's Button

Bluebonnet

California Poppy

Corn Poppy

Dwarf Red Plains Coreopsis

Indian Blanket

Ox-Eye Daisy

Rocket Larkspur

We are still figuring out how to identify the grasses without mature seed heads. I'm not completely sure that the grasses have even germinated yet. It may just be weeds so far as the grass seed prefers warm spring weather to germinate.
