A whole field of phacelia is not that uncommon, apparently it is used to let the soil recover after crops that have depleted the field of nutrients.


Bees and butterflies find this violet flower very attractive.








A summer meadow with flowers close to town deserves a closer look.

Closer.


The flowers are made up of field mustard

and lacy phacelia, mostly.

There are others interested as well

going as close as they can get.


Even butterflies flutter by.
