strictly not flowers as that fetching red
is the colour of their seed containers

Thanks for your kind comments and sharing your photos of the wildflowers they are such a pretty find
ReplyDeleteI love the desert flowers in our” Southwest and as of this summer, the brave blossoms blooming on the Arctic Tundra — for the same reason. Tough and Persistant — two qualities I greatly admire. they just keep on hanging in there — and provide us with treats for the eyes as they do. Gotta’ love ‘em.
