Scenes From the Mountains of North Carolina

Hayfields and wildflowers

My name is Piper Woodring , and I subsist in Boone , North Carolina . Although I have it off to garden , and in my humble opinion , my yard is beautiful , this first photo I am sharing with you is of a field in our biotic community . This lupine(Lupinuspolyphyllus , Zones 3–8 ) set about with flora on either side of the stairs to a stoop on a mobile home . When the resident fleet away , the mobile base was moved aside from this engage battleground . Typically , the flower do n’t make it to maturity before the field is mowed for hay . However , we have experience a very crocked spring , which prohibited the mowing .

I have enjoyed this opinion vastly . I hope you do as well !

I should add that I really have no “ schematic gardens , ” but our G dwell more of “ area . ” I really hump wildflower , like this yellow lady ’s slipper(Cypripediumparviflorum , Zones 2–6 ) .

Awhite trillium(Trillium grandiflorum , Zones 4–7 ) shows a habit typical of its metal money of blush pink as the prime age .

The promising orange – blossom bush is aflame azalea(Rhododendron calendulaceum , Zones 5–8 ) , or as we always called them , wild honeysuckle . They are predominant in the wooded areas of our property , and this one has been grow close to our star sign for 30 years .

This past autumn , the leaf show was one of the prettiest in my memory .

A greenish prospect in the flower of bound growing .

The same spot , transformed in the colors of fall .
