wildflowers

Good thing I took these photos when I saw the flowers - they mowed this whole strip a few days later.

Those are really lovely!

So lovely, and what a shame they mowed them down! It always makes me mad when they let a meadow get tall enough to have lovely flowers like that, and then mow it before they can seed themselves - it clearly doesn't matter *that* much if the weeds get tall, if they'd already waited that long!

That's a shame they mowed it down; it looks beautiful!

Lovely. Thank you for sharing the prairie goodness with us.

Such pretty colors!

[rose_griffes]

Thanks!

[rose_griffes]

Yeah, frustrating. Especially because they could have easily just mowed the edge closest to the street and left the rest; the land isn't being used for anything at the moment.

[rose_griffes]

Agreed; so frustrating!

[rose_griffes]

Thanks!

[rose_griffes]

I think so, too!

[rose_griffes]

You're welcome!

I love wildflowers!

It makes me really sad, too.

I wonder if what happened was that there's some Thou Shalt Mow Thine Property ordinance, as most places seem to have them. I gather that folks will get "Mow by X date or we will do it for you at an exorbitant fee" notices.

They do the mowing thing here as well, which is so disappointing.

What lovely and very delicate flowers.
