    Toni was mentioning that she liked these flowers and we have lots of them. If I toss a few her way maybe she could wait outside and catch them when they come down.

    Well, the computer doesn't want to load another picture here. There are 12 of them in my garden if you would like to see more. They all look about the same. There are a lot of grass and some weeds among them because we don't want to cut the flowers yet and everything just grows and grows and grows. We do try to keep paths and open areas trimmed down so we can walk.

    I have quite a few flowers that grew, via birds I presume, in my garden too Dooley. I have a briar rose and dog rose that are blooming now and that I'll be keeping. I even have a holly tree that I know I didn't plant!! I don't mind wildflowers in the least as they tend to attract lots of bees. However, I don't have anywhere like the amounts you have. I love seeing your photographs and am so glad to hear that you won't be cutting them back as they look lovely.

    Dooley, I so love those Black-eyed Susans. I haven't had any in the yard for a few years. Guess the birds got lazy or the weather conditions haven't been quite right. Your yard looks lovely with them.

    I like your Black-eyed Susans. I have not seen them in this size before.
