So beautiful ?

Take a deep breath and relaxe...sigh!

Wonderful!

What stunning photo's, where were these taken?

Could I be teleported there for the day please?

You can keep all your uniformed gardens, these " wild " displays of freedom are the best. Beautiful and carefree.

They also don't need weeding !

Beautiful meadow, I’m trying to grow one. It looks nothing like your photos.☹️
British countryside is so lovely.

We have hay meadows like that in the Peak District and they are a glory. I commented to DH yesterday how many roundabouts and central road reservations are prairie planted now and how wonderful they look. In the middle of our city is a new piece of hard landscaping with prairie planted raised beds and I was very pleased to see the council getting away from formal floral displays, though there are some still.

Beautiful photos**Namsnanny**, thanks for sharing.
This inspires me to buy some field flower seed to sow in our fields.

Wonderful

j52...I've tried to grow meadow wild flowers a couple of times, but I've given up as the results were so disappointing.

I've been enthused by this field to try again, but its not as easy as people say is it?

pageturner…...I do hope you try.
I wonder if sowing a big field gives better results than a small patch in a garden?

Do let us know what you decide. It would be nice to hear about the process if you could be bothered to post!

Good luck

Namsnanny It's not easy, I agree. I bought a wildflower mix, the photo on the pack looked exactly like the one the OP shows.

The instructions told me to till and prepare the land so it was ploughed evenly and totally weed free. I couldn't do that. So I sewed them in troughs and tubs, with poor results.
Not all came up the first year, many didn't come up at all.
Some came up the third year.

No one can do it like Mother Nature and Time.

Utterly lovely and particularly cheering, as where I live it is the first month of winter and it is proving to be a very frosty one that is doing the plants in the garden – and me – no favours.

I have no idea where they came from but we had a mass of self-seeding poppies last summer which were especially loved by my youngest – four-year-old – grandson who had to inspect them in detail every time he visited.

Wow!!! how amazing, nature truely is a wonderous thing!!!

namsnanny I planted Blue Flax seeds two years ago in front of my house. The seeds didn't grow that first summer, I guess because they are a perennial. This photo is from last summer. I just love this plant. The flowers last for only a day or two but the plant has so many new buds that it is continually blooming all summer. It came back this spring just as pretty as last year. I planted more seeds this spring.

I also noticed that there are now Blue Flax blooming in the field also. Maybe many years from now the field will be full of them. My neighbor, an old timer who has lived in the area for many years commented to me that he had never seen Blue Flax growing in the area. I said "That's because I planted them in my garden!"

This is one of Mother Nature's finest wildflowers. It's a Tufted Evening Primrose.
Every year it grows on the side of our drive. If I was to try to move it to a safer place, I'm sure it wouldn't survive the move.
This is a rare plant because it has pink and white flowers on the same plant. As you may be able to see, it is growing in plain old dirt and gravel. Beauty is everywhere.

Lovely flower photos.

More beautiful wild flowers growing at the side of the road where the soil had been disturbed for road realignment. Aren't they a picture?

There are wild flowers deliberately planted by the Council, all down the sides and medians of the motorways in parts of Auckland.
