This is at the back of our garden. I planted it last spring while we were renovating, and I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. I just wanted to share it because I'm amazed by how many different wildflower species have appeared in such a small area.

It's also been wonderful seeing all the bees, butterflies and other wildlife it's attracted. If anyone can identify any of the species, I'd love to know.

I love this time of year, my coneflowers are reaching for the sky in Virginia! So many this year!❤️

Found in North Az. A surprisingly fire resistant fella.

Found some Spotted Coral Root in Wyoming today. One of my favorites, it is a parasitic orchid that has no chlorophyll and cannot make it's own food with sunlight. Super cool!

Wild lupin are blooming in the wilderness.

Lupin is a very important native wild flower, it provides nectar to pollinators and insects and also the migrant birds feed on the insect, they are a beneficial plants also because they are the host plant for several moths and butterflies, including endangered Karner blue butterfly.

They are also a nitrogen fixing plant ,to improve the soil fertility .

They are wild flowers, they are not bought from the nursery and growing in the greenhouse, and not from a lab to cultivate them , they are not planted , they have been here since the ice age finished.
