The wildflowers are coming out in droves right now. I don't plant any other kind of flowers. Just a waste of money! The wildflowers are hardy enough to withstand the dogs!

This is an Arctic Poppy. They come in several colors. I have this yellow and orange in my yard.

These are Wild Blue Lupine. They are the most common wildflower around here. Earle likes to eat them! Makes for pretty colored puke! :rolleyes:

There are two kinds of these little purple flowers around. These ones look like stars.

And these have rounded petals. They grow in clumps quite low to the ground.

Yup, it's wild lupine. Grows everywhere here! The seeds will be out in about a month. PM me your address and I'd be glad to send some to you.

Wildflowers are so pretty! And it's so cool that you have them so close to your house... Great pics, I love them! :D

[Killearn Kitties]

You have some beautiful wild flowers! Some there that I don't know, but then you would expect the flowers there to be a bit different from ours! :D

[Toby's my baby]
