It is really hard to cut the grass when you come to spots like these.
I just can't cut these petty flowers down. So I try to go around them...lol
Makes it a pain in the ass

You guys think Im weird?

Would you mow that stuff down?

Im gonna wait till they go to seed.

But I do end up cutting a lot of em that are in the tall grass anyway.

No not weird at all!!! Nice pictures. I would try and collect the seeds and see if I could get them to grow in a bed. No competition from the grasses.

Pollinators love that sort of stuff. I would love to have it near my garden.

Leave the flowers for the birds and the bees and other critters. You have a beautiful natural meadow there. Leave it be if you can.

good point, do you actually see any bees or pollinators given the bee collapse that is going on?

I see lots of pollinators up here.
The "Buzzzzzz" is quite loud sometimes.

I don't know how many of those are actual "honey bees" though.

In the summer up in these hills homeowners are required to clear dry brush 100 ft around any buildings.

So I try to keep ahead of it.
But I am leaving the Heavy flowered areas till they are gone to seed.
I always have :)
