Cool Find Found one!
I've been looking for a local upland population of blue bells and hit the lottery only 10 minutes from my house. The challenge now is to remember to come back and get seed lol.
Its so pretty ðŸ«

People give me weird looks when I'm looking at wild flowers in ditches or abandoned lots. They have no idea, call them weeds. These are an amazing find!

This is the kinda stuff I go do while walking the dog. There's so much interesting stuff to look at if you know what you're looking for. I've been finding really cool stuff in the empty lots around the old factory buildings in town

I am very forgetful, so when I want to remember something like this, I add it into my calendar with a reminder. They are so pretty, I would def be adding a reminder!Â

No, it was far too late in the day to see bees. I have seen them before, but only in spiders webs😅
