This area lies between our house and the road. I call it our "meadow", even though in my mind the word meadow evokes images of mountains of which Oklahoma has very few. We only mow this area once or twice a year because we enjoy the wildflowers that bloom here
As you can see, the predominate flowers are yellow ones, like this.
But, there are several other yellow varieties, too. Here's one a picture of one of them.
And, here is another one. The flowers on this plant are tiny.
And, finally, this one. The foliage on this plant is ugly, but the flowers are pretty.
Even though the most prevalent flowers are the yellow ones, there are other kinds, as well. You just have to look closer to see them. For example, there are white ones, like this.
And, light purple ones, like this
Even the grass has flowers. I noticed these very tiny orange flowers growing on a stalk of grass!
Spring is a beautiful time of year. We should all take more time to stop and see the beauty around us. Stop and smell the wildflowers!
