I am so amazed by this website! Thank you so much for all the information and the beautiful photos. I started my wildflower adventure as a cut flower farmer. I tried to add as many natives as possible to my bouquets to gently teach my customers about nature’s abundance. Now I am retired from cut flower farmer and am turning the farm over to a wildflower nature preserve. Thank you!
