Secret Garden Cottage: WHAT TO DO... and forcing apple blossoms

What an inspiration you are!

Can't you just here the windmill creaking? But, does anyone hear it out on the prairie? That's the beauty of it all!

Summer may be gone but not the beauty of the Kansas prairie. The grasses & cottonwood trees have been at their best because of the late freeze.

As seen from my kitchen window this morning. Thank you Gina for planting the clematis vine.

The Bachelor Buttons are probably the most prolific bloomers in the wildflower areas on the west side of Main Street in WaKeeney but it changes every week. There are Poppies, Baby's Breath and Larkspur blooming too. I heard there were to be some photo shoots using the flowers as a back drop so I may be able to post those later. Across Main Street and south of the railroad tracks in the native planting the Indian Blanket are just starting to bloom and the Cone flowers will soon follow.

Blue Flax Extravaganza

The blue flax loves the cool wet weather. Couldn't resist stopping by this afternoon and taking a shot. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

The blue flax is the first of many wildflowers that will be blooming in the native plantings at the corner of Main Street and South Railroad in WaKeeney. Stop by and take a look.
