My husband and I went up to our cabin last week and it was a beautiful site! As we turned around a bend we saw beautiful fields of Wildflowers at the Cabin! There were so many of them that I decided I “needed” a beautiful bouquet to enjoy for the time that we were there!I am really lucky that I am able to pick these flowers, they were in full bloom last weekend and there were fields of them!Unfortunately, there are still lots of dead trees from the fire 3 years ago, but the grasses and flowers have come back in a great abundance! These fields of flowers are just to the side of the cabin and then below it! There were lots of these beautiful “lily-like” flowers also. I do not know the name of them, but they are gorgeous!So I went for a little walk around our property and gathered a handful of these beautiful blooms! I have a vase that I keep at the cabin, just in case I might need it! :)There were tons of the yellow daisies, and the white “lily flowers”, then I found some bright orange to complement them and the purple was a beautiful accent! The white filler is probably a weed, but it is a beautiful weed!So that is my vase of beautiful wildflowers at the cabin! I feel very blessed every time we are able to go to the cabin. There is such a feeling of peace and beauty. We are truly living in nature and I love the view all the way around me and also up above me! The stars at night are truly magnificent!When this is the view off the deck … you can see what I mean! Look at those big, white, fluffy clouds, the lake below and the valley out in the distant! I never get tired of this view!
I have tried to plant a few different flowers at the cabin, but the deer seem to like them too much and I cannot get much to grow…so I will just enjoy the natural wildflowers for as long as they last!
Rita, I believe the picture in the lower right hand corner is a sego lily, our State flower! Thanks for sharing – love the wildflowers!
Judy, I think that it is a Sego Lily now that you mention it. I always thought the sego lily was a larger plant, but it looks just like the ones in the pictures that I researched. Thanks for the heads up! I am a lucky girl!
Beautiful flowers and pictures. What a blessing you have to be able to escape.
Sydnie, Thank you for your kind comment. I am very blessed to have a place to escape and a beautiful view to welcome me each time I go!
What a view !!We also enjoy our view of Lake Superior from our deck at the cottage…Enjoy…Rosanne
Thanks Rosanne…I am glad that you have a beautiful view too! We can both count ourselves very lucky!
It is definitely a Sego Lily and IS our state flower. I have lived here all of my 69 years and have rarely seen them. you are very lucky!
Jeanne, I think that it is a Sego Lily too. I always thought that the sego lily was a bigger plant than that, but it looks just like it, so I guess it has to be one. I am not sure where it came from because everything I have read, is that they are a bulbous plant, and I really don’t remember seeing them in previous years, but I am glad that I have them in my backyard now. I hope they will continue to keep coming back every year!
Rita,
Your wildflowers and the view are breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Debbie, I appreciate your taking the time to write your comment. I never get tired of that view and I know that I am very blessed to be able to enjoy it so often.
