Fall 2005:

Wildflowers seeds were sown this fall in mid-town Tulsa, near Bartlesville and along Interstate 40 at Sallisaw, the state Information Center and the Arkansas-Oklahoma state line.

Most of this year’s money for seeds came from the purchase of special Color Oklahoma license tags. Public Service Company of Oklahoma, which donated $1,000 last year for wildflowers along U.S. 169 near Oologah, donated the same amount this year for wildflowers in the Bartlesville area.  Two acres were sown with Purple Coneflower, Tickseed and Indian Blanket.

Two acres of Indian Blanket and Black-eyed Susan were sown in Midtown Tulsa on the east side of the Interdispersal Loop.

Sown at the Sequoyah County sites were three acres of Purple Coneflower, Tickseeds, Yellow Mexican Hat, Black-eyed Susan, Clasping Coneflower, Indian Blanket and Lemon Mint.

Fall 2004:

In 2004, Public Service Company of Oklahoma donated $1,000 for wildflower seeds sown along U.S. 169 near Oologah, where the company has a major facility. With additional 2004 contributions, Color Oklahoma purchased seeds for the Creek Turnpike in south Tulsa, and Interstate-40 at Elk City and Clinton and near Erick.

The selections were Tickseed, Clasping Coneflower, Annual Winecap, Standing Cypress, Plains Coreopsis, Black-eyed Susan, Indian Paintbrush, Prairie Coneflower, Blue Flax, Texas Star, Lazy Daisy and Mealy Blue Sage.

Members also purchased seeds of Bachelor Buttons and Red Corn Poppies, which were sown inside the Interdispersal Loop in downtown Tulsa.

In 2003, Color Oklahoma added wildflowers to Interstate 40 near Seminole and Henryetta. Look for Indian Blanket, Indian Paintbrush, Tickseed, Black-eyed Susan, Purple Coneflower, and Plains Coreopsis.

The group urges supporters to remember that wildflowers are bouquets for everyone.
