 The Coupeville Prairie area - if you click on the photo, and look closely, you can see many flowers growing in the tall grass of the prairie. With such a cold wet spring, the grass has grown much faster than the flowers! Usually, the flowers bloom when they are taller than the grass, and it's lovely to see them. We had to stop and get out of the car to see that the Cama lilies were blooming!
 Mostly they are this lovely shade of blue, but we also saw some white blossoms. The native americans dug the tubers and ate them.
And, when you look closely, there is a wide variety of flowers blooming and growing in the grass.

At the other end of the spectrum, we found these gigantic tulips growing in a pot outside of a restaurant - they were lovely too!
