This week we got some beautiful photos from Larry Musil in northern Illinois.  He writes he's been planting wildflowers for 20 years, and he is obviously not just a great wild gardener, but also an excellent photographer.  This view of the "inside" of a wildflower meadow is the essence of mid-summer.  We're working on a whole Member's Meadow feature on Larry's wildflower plantings.
