Flower Mountain

A few years ago we had a small brick patio installed in the back yard just behind our sun room. The workers piled the dirt next to the patio excavation. Diana took charge of planting native wildflowers on Flower Mountain. She planted a good stand of echinacea. They're lovely when they're in bloom. We do not chop these down when they're done blooming; rather we let them stand until the small birds in the area start eating the seeds. Yesterday we got our first glimpse of a finch eating the seeds. There will be more. I will try to get a photo of this later on. Not an easy shot but I think I can do it once it gets a bit cooler outside. The outside temperature is not quite as high as it has been. The weather bunnies predict 90 degrees.
