Wildflower Field is Blooming

It’s one of the prettiest times of the year now with the yellow daisies and purple Ironweed blooming together.

Here is a view of the wildflower field from our porch.

 

Daisies and ironweed

These beautiful yellow daisies started as just a half-dozen patches a few years ago but have now filled in over half of the wildflower field.

 

Butterfly on ironweed

A butterfly is enjoying the nectar on the ironweed, which seems to be blooming early this year.  Typically, ironweed blooms in late August and September, coinciding with the goldenrod, to produce a pretty purple and gold mix.

 

Bee on a daisy

The wildflower field is full of bumble bees and honey bees doing their thing.
