The Colors of Summer
With the changing of the seasons comes a shift in the varieties of wildflowers that paint our Copper Country landscape. The chicory is in bloom with it's lavender hues. Blooms abound in various shades of yellow, white, pink, orange, red, purple, and green. The shapes are so numerous and unique, attesting to the imagination of their creator!
