1. Marvelous colors !

   1. They’re very bold with the brown eyes – they make me think of eggs through some process of reversal.

2. I adore wildflower meadows – this one is gorgeous!

   1. I wouldn’t have predicted this mix, but it is very cheerful. The other flowers (mainly cornflowers and Queen Anne’s Lace) play a great supporting role.

3. What a glorious sight!

   1. It must attract insects from miles around.

      1. Yes!

4. Beautiful 😀

   1. Thanks, Cee.

5. Your usual skilful perspective

   1. I know you’ll join me in celebrating those who make gardens beautiful so we can capture them.

      1. Yep

6. Fabulous.

   1. Thanks, Chloris.

7. That is gorgeous!!! I’ve never seen Coreopsis growing wild with a dark eye like that.

   1. I’m not sure these count as wild as a swathe has been planted in a garden, although I suppose if they naturalise they would be wildish. You’ve set me off wondering whether weeds are weeds if planted on purpose… I suppose they are, but I have so often heard ‘a weed is a plant out of place’ that it gives me pause. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see coreopsis as weeds, but I know some people do.

      1. I suppose a deliberately planted weed would not be a weed to the person who planted it.

8. Glorious …
   🙂

   1. Thanks, Julie. 🙂

9. Beautiful wildflowers!

   1. They made me catch my breath when I saw them.
