Kit likes cultivated flowers.  But I prefer and admire wildflowers.  Pictured is my garden of transplanted wild perennials. These are daises and foxgloves. Bright yellow ragworts will join them in a few weeks.

I’ve always loved wildflowers. They give beauty freely to everyone without asking anything in return. The best wildflowers are energetic, hardy, and drought tolerant. Many are insect and slug resistant and—most important in our neighborhood—not preferred by deer.

Some folks consider my prolific favorites weeds.  Let them struggle with delicate prima donnas and the creatures that devour them. I consider wildflowers a gift from God.  I would hope that I could be a wildflower-like gift from God to others.
