The beautiful marigolds in the vase were picked yesterday from my wildflower garden. What a joy this little patch of flowers has provided me this summer. The early poppies, bachelor buttons and black-eyed Susans have been replaced by late season marigolds. Their Autumn colors are perfect for enjoying both outdoors and in.
In the late months of Spring, I sowed several packets of wildflowers in empty areas of my garden beds. I’ve been thrilled with the results. The flowers are not showy, but the colors are vibrant and the variety of bloom quite interesting. I also added a few leftover zinnias, marigolds and cosmos from old seed packets I had saved over the years. They are also growing, and when the first wildflowers are spent, I am hoping they will begin to blossom.
