We spotted these beautiful wildflowers, Texas Bluebonnet and Indian Paintbrush flowers, on the side of the highway during our recent road trip.

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong in a boat out at sea

Sail away, kill off the hours

You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover

Go away somewhere all bright and new

I have seen no other

Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong in a boat out at sea

You belong with your love on your arm

You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, go find a lover

Run away, let your heart be your guide

You deserve the deepest of cover

You belong in that home by and by

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong somewhere close to me

Far away from your trouble and worries

You belong somewhere you feel free

You belong somewhere you feel free

Ενα όμορφο ανοιξιάτικο πρωινό.

Ο Ήλιος είχε αρχίσει ν' ανεβαίνει σιγά σιγά κι ο γαλάζιος Ουρανός άστραφτε από το λαμπερό Φως του.

Οι πλαγιές του λόφου, γεμάτες πολύχρωμα ανθισμένα αγριολούλουδα,

φάνταζαν πανέμορφες νεραιδούλες να χορεύουν σε ένα μαγικό ρυθμό!

Ein schöner Frühlingsmorgen.

Die Sonne begann langsam aufzusteigen und der blaue Himmel leuchtete von seinem hellen Licht.

Die Hänge des Hügels voller bunter blühender Wildblumen

man stellen sich wunderschöne Feen vor, die in einem magischen Rhythmus tanzen !

A beautiful spring morning.

The sun began to rise slowly and the blue sky shone with its bright light.

The slopes of the hill are full of colorful blooming wildflowers

you imagine beautiful fairies dancing in a magical rhythm!

Kalimera, Everyone !

A delicate flower which I saw in the forest.

The Purple Prairie Clover has a thimble-shaped flower head ½ to 2½ inches long at the top of the stem with the flowers blooming from the bottom of the spike up. Tiny 5-petaled purple flowers with orange or yellow-tipped stamens are densely packed around the cone. The calyx is woolly, dull gray to rusty red, and easily visible in the upper spike where flowers have not yet bloomed. Best viewed large.

Another example of our local council seeding roadside verges with wildflowers. Sounds, and looks, great. Not everyone is happy though. In some cases the seed mixes have contained non-native species, some of which can become invasive. If the non-native flowers cross pollinate they will pollute the genetic diversity. They can also affect the ecosystem by flowering at different times, impacting the insect population. And if they don't self seed successfully next year then there will be carbon cost consequences with the council having to re-seed annually. Every silver lining has a cloud it would seem. In the meantime I'm going to enjoy them.

Look at those flowers standing even at night

That could be you baby you'll be alright

Not saying it won't go down without a fight

But you won't lose baby you'll be alright

You're a wildflower in the wind

Breezy, you don't wanna lose your stem

You tear out of the soil in the end

Now you don't know nowhere to begin

Saw this lovely coloured wildflower in a hedgerow on my Easter Sunday walk. Don't know its name.

Not far from highway 16 in Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming.

I saw several types of wildflowers on the descent from the "Hoher Ifen". This photo was taken close to the "Karst" photo, which means there was a lot of limestone.
