Field of Blue

In The Meadow Project post I mentioned that there were three 'no-mow' zones.

One is on the woods edge, behind the Feeder Garden (from the house). It looks like this:

A field of Great Blue Lobelia.

And while we've planted this species in the gardens, we did not plant any out here. This just happened. Fantabulous and amazing.

How'd that Cardinal Flower get there?

Of course, they're all cardinal flowers ...
