Our wild area covers all of the way from the road. We have a small front yard where the kids can run and play games or ball. One day we will get it growing lush and thick, doesn't look like we'll have that in our yard this year. The wildflowers though are blooming their heads off. We have so many daisies, aren't they wonderful? I debated picking a few to put in a vase inside once again. They have been blooming SO long that I forgot I had this conversation with myself already this year.
There are even some small daisy like flowers. I'm not sure what they are, but I tried to get them and the daisy together in a shot. The petals and leaves are pretty different too. They're not just babies, that's for sure. Look at the frilly edges on the little flowers.
Remember those pretty blossoms I talked about earlier this spring? Here are the berries that I told you about on the fourth of July post. I hope some are allowed to ripen so I get to taste them too, don't they look yummy?
Man, I sure got rid of a lot of these. Now I'm annoyed that I acted so quickly, but none of them had produced anything before. Oh well, I guess it won't help to whine and complain about it. I can't go back in time and undo it anyway. I may decide to transplant these in the future though since I'd like to keep a few of them around here.
We also have some yellow and orange flowers still blooming. Most of them have gone to seed though. Their seed heads remind me of a dandelion with all that fluff. I think that these could be the same plant, they're the same except flower color.
Thank you for stopping by. Please leave me a message and a backlink. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Cinj: I enjoyed seeing your wildflower meadow. I don't know some of the flowers... interesting.
Good for you for keeping the meadow garden, Cinj! I love them. My "cultivated wild garden" in front of the Pullet Palace is an ongoing delight. Yes, I planted soem of the big, structural stuff, but I love seeing the surprises that turn up there!
I love it when people are able to leave a wild area in their yards for the natives to thrive in.
That orange and yellow flower...I'm pretty certain it's orange hawkweed. Around here it's a non-native considered extremely invasive and damaging to natural habitats. That might not be the case where you live, but you may want to look it up just in case!
I think Daisies are so pretty! They remind me of innocence for some strange reason, Doris Day.... Whys that? Hummmm,…..
love all the wildflowers!! I hope you get to eat some berries too!! They look like there will be alot!!!
Natural is nice.
Barbee- Well, that makes you and me both. At least I know the daisies....
Ben- It's really nice with all of the plants that pop up there. I don't know that I will plant anything else there.
Amy- They do grow everywhere around here. I'll have to look into that. I don't know much about them, thanks for the info, I'll have to look it up after our work on the shed is done for the day.
Skeeter- Me too. They are wonderful flowers. White is supposed to symbolize innocence so it's no wonder!
Cindee- There sure will be. Lots of wildlife too. I'm willing to share if they are though.
Tina- Yes. Less work for me too. Does that sound like a lazy attitude?
It does look so cozy with the wildflowers growing along the driveway. It's a very nice welcome home.
Anna- I know, isn't it fabulous? I noticed two more new flowers on the verge of blooming today too. How can I NOT remember all of these flowers blooming last year?
very pretty Cinj. My mom's place has lots of wild areas with all kinds of pretty natives - kind of reminds me of your wildflower meadow. You're so lucky to have a spot like that.
