Wildflower Wednesday - April 2012

On our trip to Antique Rose Emporium at Brenham, Texas last Friday, we saw some lovely meadows and hillsides covered with wildflowers. Of course, I had to stop to take some pictures.








Poppies, coreopsis, thistles, black-eyed Susans, primroses, phlox and still a few bluebonnets were blooming in gay profusion, and the meadows were full of bees and butterflies. It made my heart glad to see them.

For more wildflower pleasures, visit Gail at clay and limestone for a listing of other bloggers who are participating in Wildflower Wednesday this month, and thanks to Gail for hosting the meme.

  3. No man (or woman)-made garden is quite the same as a natural tapestry like the meadows you photographed. Just beautiful!

    1. Isn't it funny how all of those disparate colors just work together? Colors that often we would never think to put together in our own gardens. Nature knows best!
