Welcome to my Ranch Wildflower Collection page. I hope you enjoy the beautiful flowers as much as I have had watching them grow. We have had another awesome spring and the flowers have grown and bloomed quite well. When Dale and I first bought this piece of property, we weren't really sure what we would do with it or what our intent might be, but as the last 5-1/2 years have unfolded we've realized it's the natural wonders God has created for us that makes us the happiest. So here is our little slice of heaven. Most of our flowers are native to the ranch and some are from seeds we purchased from Wildseed Farms (in Fredricksburg Texas) and planted during the fall. We have found that some species may take 2-3 years to establish themselves after introducing the seeds. Some of these photos are not truly wildflowers, but rather flowering aquatic plants, berries, or trees; regardless, they are among the many beautiful flowers typically found at Yellow Dog Ranch. I have a very eclectic collection of flowers and some are new to me. I am trying to learn all of the names and will post them as we identify each of them. If you see one in question that you recognize and can help me, I would really appreciate your email. We will add more photos as the seasons and conditions change. Enjoy!!!!!
