Today's Photos -- Wild Flowers At Orchard Hills

Today's Photo is an experiment at the golf course that is turning out pretty nice. Last spring we had major problems with the irrigation pump which is located in the building beside the pond. Ended up draining the pond, bringing in heavy equipment to replace the pump's intake. While the backhoe was there we had it clean out some of the muck. The boss thought it would be nice to plant some wild flowers in the 'muck pile.' The muck was full of stones and we weren't sure if we could grow anything in it. Once in a while he would send some of the 'kids' out to pick out the stones. Certain golfers could not walk by, including a couple of the local doctors, without stopping to pick out a bunch of stones. The flowers were planted this spring and are doing very well. My photo doesn't do the area justice. This year golfers are pulling weeds as they go by. Plans for next year are to plant the mounds behind the green on #6. They will be visible from the road.
