One little orange flower

From last year. Just a memory, with its waterdrops. I'd like to grow some of these. They always remind me of something I read about Katherine Hepburn--that she used to go walking around some reservoir where they reseeded themselves and grew wild. They were never very successful for me, but perhaps I will try some here in Michigan. Today we worked on the "building envelope" for the conservation easement. Since it is so permanent and so irrevocable, it scares me that I will make a mistake.. But when I think about the turkeys and the barred owls and the deer and that big coyote with the fat tail, I know it will be worth it.
