Ice Bloom


Echinacea blooms covered in ice during last week's freezing drizzle.  We are very laid back gardeners (lazy?).  Dead-heading we never do, and seldom get around to cleaning up a bed after the season is over.  Dried seeds feed the birds.  They also usually reseed and/or spread the flowering plants.

  2. Your "lazy gardener" approach had a wonderful benefit. Love the look of those ice-covered flower heads!
