Drought-Resistant Wild Flowers

The college near our home is as dry as the rest of city.














But wild flowers are cropping up - and thriving - in the dry soil.














(Why can't my flower garden be as drought-resistant as these wild flowers?!)














Ironically, the city of Ottawa is requesting lawns be watered to prevent grass fires.

There have been a number of grass fires in different parts of the city, some of them threatening homes.
