This time of year, our acreage comes to life in bursts of color in hues of yellow, purple, red, orange, and white from all of the wildflowers. One can smell a sweet fragrance in the wind from all of these together .
Sophie is telling me to stop taking pictures and start walking!She loves to go tromping through the fields, sniffing and nibbling as she goes.
I love the ox-eyed daisy. It grows in clusters all over the grounds. 
Sophie likes to smell and taste anything that is offered to hear. She looks like she is smiling, doesn't she? .
I have walked every part of our property year after year, and I am always amazed to find another new flower that I did not spot the year before. I have never seen a flower like this. Do any of you have an idea of what it might be? There is no fragrance, however, the ants were all over the petals. It's not a drop from an envelope of flowers that I have planted. It is about 2 acres from our house.
I love blanket flower. Their colors are so warm and cheery. These look a little tired as the wind has just about beat them down .
Daises of any kind are always so cheery!
This big cluster of different wildflowers was underneath a large mesquite tree. So pretty when they are bunched up together. So now, what kind of flowers do you have growing wild in your fields. What is your favorite? I wold love to see the pictures!

I like the blanket flower too... and the mystery flower is very interesting looking!
Don't you love spring?
Antelope horn - of the milkweed family - bloos march through August - almost all species of the genus asclepiadaceae considered very poisonous - I have a beautiful little field guide to Texas Wildflowers and "loves me a challenge!"
I got too excited about actually knowing something for a change and of course I meant to say it blooms March through August. Love wildflowers - our favorite is the wine cup
Thanks Lindasue, if it is poisonous, I will leave it where it is. Blessings, Kathleen
Don't you just love flowers that appear out of nowhere just to make us smile? I have a bunch of new ones growing right out in the middle of a torn up construction site. I dug them up and brought them closer to home and they bring such joy!
Blessings,
Lea
Hi Kathleen! I am from Ohio and have John Denver listed as music I like in my blog profile. I clicked on the link to find others who like his music, which led me to your blog. What a delight! I enjoyed reading it very much. I especially liked seeing the flower photos, your scarecrow, and all your sweet animal pictures. Looks like you have your hands full there! Hope you have a wonderful day! I'll be back to visit again soon and you're welcome to visit my blog anytime if you are interested. :-D
