My friends and I have started texting a photo of a flower to each other every (most) day(s). I discovered I have a lot of blossoms in my yard. I’ve identified them all using the iNaturalist app, which is a freebie that connects to scientists. I just can’t figure out how to upload my photos to their data base. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n

Most of my flowers are wildflowers. In a neighborhood where people put weed killers and other chemicals on their lawns, my bit of property is like a meadow in the middle of the city. I feel blessed by nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"We don’t have to send photos of actual flowers–that can be challenging–so a greeting card, vase, book cover, article of clothing, painting: we’ll accept them all. The point is to brighten each other’s day with a bouquet of happiness.<\/p>\n

I love sharing my urban meadow. And now I’ve shared it with you!<\/p>\n
