Wildflower Meadow

Purple nodding needle grass elegantly sways in the wind enlivening a wildflower meadow. The annual wildflowers self-seed, returning each spring with no extra irrigation to put on a showy display that changes from year to year. This spring the show begins early with a cheerful moment of 'five-spot' sparkling in a sea of red and orange poppies. Later purple 'bird's eye gilia' and pink 'farewell-to-spring' provide the finale through late summer. Lupine and fragrant hummingbird sage act as the backdrop.
