The flowers in June are so different, it seems like they are full of promise..all colors of the rainbow. The Lupines are the Stars of my June garden.
The flowers of July are like spent fireworks. The Lupine have formed their seed pods and start to re seed sometimes quite explosively. The Gaillardia begin to show off..
The flowers of August are warm and comforting..they signal the start of the end of summer.
Far Guy mows the pathways for me all summer, so I can walk amongst the flowers and take photographs. Sometimes I have lots of dog company. I started this planting a long time ago with just a few flowers..and fewer weeds.
They are what they are…beautiful and wild and no fuss no muss only a little mowing and lots of photo taking.
I don’t weed, I don’t water, Chance and his friends fertilize frequently. The Wildflowers have formed root systems deep and strong that will withstand drought and heat in the summer and the forty below zero in the winter. Deer and Turkeys wander in and out of the yard…they munch here and there..I am past getting upset about what the bums eat..I just share. After years of perfect gardens these Wildflower Gardens are now just perfect for me:)
Wonderful photos ! Love your gardens ! Have a great day !
ReplyDeleteYour wildflower gardens are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful garden to enjoy and nice that you share with the animals who want to munch on the flowers sometimes. Plenty for everyone it looks like.
ReplyDeleteI love your wildflower garden!
ReplyDeleteMy flowerbeds look very much like yours. The best flowers for mre are the wild ones that take care of themselves.
ReplyDeleteI have a side yard which I would like to plant in wildflowers...however, the hubby would rather keep it short and mow...bummer...
ReplyDeleteYour wildflowers are wild! And beautiful. Who likes flowers all neat and in rows? (Well, I do but then they are not wildflowers, are they?)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and such a joy to photograph, I am sure. Cute pic of Chance and Miney(?) among the flowers!
ReplyDeleteYou guys have a good weekend.
Your flowers are heavenly. I am so glad you posted pictures from the three months - what fun to see the progression!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...!!
ReplyDeleteCityBoy only mows about one acre around the house.....the rest in nature....
Enjoy
Love it, and how easy it is!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect kind of garden! Beautiful, no fuss, and a joy to behold.
ReplyDeletePeople should have more of these!! Perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteWe grew some wildflowers between fences, but on our property. We thought they were lovely but our neighbor disagreed. He called the city to complain about the high "weeds" and we got a notice to mow them.
ReplyDeleteWe were more than shocked.
I LOVE your wildflower gardens Connie! The lupines are beautiful. No fuss no muss is the way to go. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you and Far Guy and Chance are all doing well, and I'll bet you guys have stayed cooler than we have this summer. LOL
Lovely garden!
ReplyDeleteDoris
I love your take on gardening.......I'm getting there.
ReplyDeleteI love your wildflower garden. It's pretty and relaxing. It is funny to hear you talk about the end of summer. We have quite a few hot days left here in TN.
ReplyDeleteThese, my friend, are the perfect gardens! Wild, no work necessary apart from mowing some paths - and such a riot of colours! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful area. I have a few straggling June flowers out there but my fall flowers are very few.
ReplyDeleteI posted flower photos from my garden this morning on Facebook. I entitled it "stop and smell the..." and then I realized that none of my august blooms have fragrance. none
