They're forming a natural border between our backyard and our woods and we plan to keep them there. Just letting them grow really thick!!

Today I decided to determine the names of the wildflowers in my backyard. I have four types. As it just so happens, it's Wednesday and Spanish needle day and that was one of the flowers I was able to identify!

I would tell him 'but they are for the butterflies'. I pull them up also because they do spread everywhere, and I still have plenty. They will root just by a stem touching the ground also. The other day I walked into a wild area of my yard and said 'oh no' when I headed back out to clear land and saw my pants covered in the dang seeds. :-)<br /><br />Happy Spring ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
