New Season New Backyard Show

A bachelor’s button from the Peace Garden

My neighbors and I started a joint flower garden that spans our borders. We call it the Peace Garden – a play of the Canadian-North Dakota garden.

An upright prairie coneflower

We are trying to keep everything MONative – native to Missouri. The summers are hot and dry, they take care of themselves.

The Coreopsis steals the show in May

There is a sister garden too that has a spiderwort that shows off all day most of the summer.

The never ending blooms of the spiderwort makes this a major star
Pot pouri – coneflower – tickseed – primrose
The first purple coneflower looks a bit ragged, but there will be hundreds soon.
Emerging
The goldfinches will be happy
Anthers – pollinators are already thrilled
Todays Spiderwort Blooms
Breakfast
Sometimes even the plants aren’t morning people. This struggling coneflower said, “get that camera out of my face!”
Good morning! Have a wonderful day.
