Flowers

I really do love flowers -- growing them, landscaping, and trying to see if I can make a challenging plant thrive. It is an awesome feeling when there is a successful plant in your yard!

We arrived home from the beautiful, arid Colorado to the scorching, triple-digit-plus heat of Kansas. Needless to say, the perennials that were planted in the coolness of May took a bit of a beating. We made arrangements for the heifers and cats to be fed, but thought the flowers could fend for themselves. Eeeeekkk, what a sight!

Instead of showing you the french fried landscape, I thought instead we would reflect on cooler temps, and fonder flower moments. So, enjoy this "paintbrush" plant. This wildflower sure loved residing in the Rocky Mountain National Park!
