Our Beautiful Wild Flowers

We have planted these wildflowers to attract the bees, to observe and wonder, measure their number study and, as the blog says, Save The Bees. And with every passing day the Lupine spreads and grows larger, along with daisies and flowers too myriad for me to name. What can I say, our wildflowers are coming up this year better than I ever would have imagined.

This is in large measure because of the excellent advice we received from Stacey Konant of Grulers Pet and Farm Supply- Charlevoix Michigan. 231-237-0893. She told us it would take a few years, but even the first year by August we had a sea of wildflowers, reds and golds and yellows so dense that we could not walk the two acres we seeded without floating on flowers.

You have only to look at these pictures of our hillside seeded with Debruyn seed company of Zeeland Michigan's wild flower mix to understand how easy it is to have a wild and varied garden.

So all you gardeners out there who wish to attract the bees, and or measure their survival. Plant a field as we did... You too can make your evening walks a balance of the flowers.
