Surprise and Delight in the Wildflower Meadow

March 4, 2012
Blue baby-blue eyes & multi-colored spurred snapdragons lead the way

African daisies add their orange and yellows to the mix
April 1, 2012
Bluebonnet, Baby's Breath, California Poppy, Phlox, Scarlet Flax, Indian Paintbrush, and Verbena all add their beauty
 






April 8, 2012
While other wildflowers begin to fade, the Larkspur begins to bloom


April 16, 2012
The Larkspur dominate the meadow with their height and bold colors, along with the first Cornflower and a smattering of Corn Poppies


May 3, 2012
Warm yellows and reds are prevalent in the new flowers: Lemon Mint, Indian Blanket, Mexican Hat, and Plains Coreopsis

  


May 20, 2012
The lemon mint has taken the place of the larkspur as the tall, purple element in the meadow. Phlox, poppies, and indian paintbrush are still scattered throughout. Joining the late spring yellows are Black-Eyed Susan and Lance-leaved Coreopsis
