  1. It is truly amazing the beautiful wild flowers Alaska's.Mother Nature presents to us each spring and summer. At A family wedding in 2015 in Homer, Alaska the rented small house was filled with floral arrangements. One guest arrived with a bouquet of wild flowers he picked along the road. It was the favorite arrangement the wedding couple gushed over!! Patti and Cap

  3. You certainly have a beautiful place to pick litter. It is hard to believe that people throw litter in such a beautiful place. That is quite a bunch of wildflowers.
