Wild Beauty
The bright color of the tiger lilies along our driveway caught my eye. I made sure to collect the seed pods so I can propagate them in the future. -Carol Lynne Fowler, Knoxville, Tennessee

Illuminating Hues
While driving around Texas last spring, I sat near a field of wildflowers, enjoying the peace and quiet. The sun dipped low in the sky, lighting up this patch of bluebonnets beautifully. -Michelle Holland, Kountze, Texas
