More Wildflowers Gone

Got up this morning and was out the door by 5:45 for my 3-mile run. Maintained a moderate/slow pace and finished in 35 minutes even. (Sadly, a minute slower than last Tuesday.) Weather was a pleasant 68 degrees with a cool breeze.

I was disappointed to see another long stretch of wildflowers had been mown down, including a patch of that willowy white flower that I have been meaning to identify. While a large area had been cut, whoever was doing the mowing stopped a few yards before the corner and left a stand of wild daylilies untouched. Perhaps they spared the daylilies because these seem more beautiful or more like cultivated flowers than the others. But, having recently developed an appreciation for all the other "weeds", I was sad to see those go.
