Wild Flower Pickin’

By on September 8, 2011 in gardening

The girls are coming over in a bit for some mojitos. We’re going to give my new mortar and pestle a proper christening.

For the event, I thought a little bit of backyard wild flower pickin’ was in order.

I’m even going to WASH MY HAIR.

    @ Rebecca - It's Butterfly Weed. Grows wild out here and it's a perennial.

    Gorgeous, Bev. We have a few butterfly weeds that I planted in hopes of attracting butterflies, which worked wonderfully. The kids love watching for them and looking up their names.

        I am going to have to try this!! May have to mix in some potting soil in with my Georgia clay! Hopefully it will work. Thanks! :)
