Flowers, Flowers Everywhere!

Today we took a drive to the Wildseed Farm just east of Fredericksburg, TX and what a fantastic experience!! There were fields of Corn Poppies, Indian Paintbrush, Indian Blanket and many other varieties of wildflowers.

I hope you enjoy the pictures………..I know the names of some of these but not all…….sorry!

I think my favorite is the Indian Blanket. I've never seen the five spot. That is interesting.
Very nice pictures!
