Finding Wonderful Hidden Wildflowers: Haiku

Clearing underbrush reveals a surprise of hidden wildflowers It is often so/
that when we clear dross and junk,/
we find wonderful.

Using a loping shears to clear underbrush and non-native privet from around the hardwood trees in my back yard reveals an undergrowth of black-eyed susans and other hidden wildflowers. Sometimes you have to burn the grasses and weeds from large fields, other times you have to be cautious and use tools to clear away the unwanted underbrush. If you’re careful and look for colorful flashes, you might find the wonderful hidden wildflowers.

Hidden Wildflowers Resources

Hidden Wildflowers can happen by themselves, but I enjoy giving my property some help. Walmart has many different hidden wildflower seed products, including:
*A great wildflower selection to attract more butterflies and hummingbirds
*A shady wildflower selection

Dave Kuhns is originally a quasi-city boy from suburban Milwaukee, but he spent weekends and summers in nature on Lake Winneconne in central Wisconsin. After raising his kids in a Seattle suburb, he moved to a small town in central Utah. He figured he’d buy some rural property there, or back in the Badger State.

Then he fell in love. Through a series of amazing events, he bought a rural property (a few acres) across the creek from the Chickamauga National Military Park (Civil War battlefield). There, he and his new wife are putting into reality the conservation, gardening and land management practices he learned from his grandmother, his forest ranger Dad, his little brother, and his own surburban experience.
