September 9, 2012 -- meadow flowers

Remember Meadow-in-a-Can? Well, this is meadow-in-a-vase. I picked this thistle, Sweet Annie, daisy wingstem, and tall verbena (Verbena bonariensis) all in about a one-square-yard area of an unmown field, where some of these wildflowers had perennialized, some just seeded in. I adjusted them not at all before dropping them into this glass vase.
