 Muskmallow flowers, looking ever so like the moths that like to flutter about them, blend in with pink yarrow and feverfew. |
 My first love with gardening, began with naturalizing native wildflowers. They still remain closest to my heart...for they have grown up here and struggle through the intense cold of our winters, the drying sun and wind of summer, without the helping hand of any gardener and yet still provide us with colour and elegance worthy of placement in any garden. To the left and above are pink and white musk mallows, they bloom almost all of June and well into July. They are perennials and if they like their location,will self seed, but not too prolific. |

The MothMullein has these 5 petaled soft yellow flowers, not an inch in diameter. It grows in the meadow outside the main gardens, one of the reasons I simply refuse to mow it down. June/99 | |
 Purple Hare Bells like to grow along the east side of the house. This perennial reaches a height of 2 feet and has lilac coloured bell-shaped blossoms for most of June...I have transplanted some in different places in the gardens and people always comment on them, always surprised to learn that they are a wildflower. |
 Chicory, grows in 5 feet tall bouquets in the WildFlower Meadow..........heavenly. |
