You are an inspiration!
Great photos! What an amazing list of native plants you have growing…looking good Love those red columbines.
It all looks wonderful! I am attempting a native plants meadow for the first time this year…. In Idaho. It is a bit different… I am a painter and can hardly wait to have my own meadow of wild flowers! Thank you for a bit of inspiration!
What wonderful clear photos – you're easily 3 weeks ahead of where I am – so nice to see an dream about what's to come.
Amazing pics – amazing garden. You should have a show on HGTV.
You are just a little bit ahead of us here in Chicago. Normally we would be further behind but we had a ridiculously warm March.
Great pictures!
