The roadsides and highways along the Blue Wall are full of beautiful wildflowers. At 55 mph, ragwort and dandelions have made a sweep of yellow for the past several weeks . At 45 mph, clumps of white daisies appear, coordinating with the yellow like the perfect summer outfit. At 35 mph, tiny white asters appear in the mix like w ispy clouds, along with emerging seed heads from the uncut grasses. Given a good reason to get out of the car and walk these country roadsides, we could see a wealth of native beauties, ever-present but never seen from inside an automobile. If a stalled economy means less frequent roadside mowing, maybe that is the silver lining we all look for!
