Prairie Smoke Seeds - 10 Seeds to Grow - Made in USA, Ships from Iowa. Rare and Hard to Find Geum triflorum Seeds

Freshly liberated from an overgrown bushy trail, I saw myself skimming waist-deep in Lavender, Sentries to the rear, Hollyhocks, and Foxgloves, Bougainvillea to the left and, to the right of me, Chose a meadow of Prairie Smoke and Daisies, Held at a water lily pond airs Rainbow butterfly.

I felt like I was with you on this nature walk. I found your images exquisite--highly descriptive. Enjoyed the lightness I felt. Sara

Typical SF eastbay, congested, other than the meadow and pond, the rest (flowers) were nearby neighbors, ugh, anyway--thanks Sara. Aloha, William
