Flowers provide a habitat for friendly predators.
Every year we plant large areas to flowers which come into bloom about this time. Because of their pollen and nectar they attract larger insects which follow the food chain preying on the smaller ones. We justify it as sustainable farming but the not so secret reason is we love the colors.
David Lafond, who took the photos, also selected the mix with an eye to color and size. These flowers which have just started to bloom will last well into harvest.
