Crop Circles in Deltaville?
No. Aliens havent landed, its Bubba the Wildflower Fish Shaped Meadow at Holly Point Nature Park, home of the Deltaville Maritime Museum. Thanks to Brad Sindle of Crows Nest Photography, the aerial view of the meadow definitely shows a fish shape wildflower meadow with surrounding grass meadows.
The wildflower meadow was planted in March, and through the spring and summer the 3.81 million seeds have taken off and colors have been ever changing. While the view from the top doesnt show off the wildflowers, its definitely worth a walk around Bubba to appreciate the colors and the butterflies.
The meadow was funded by a grant from NIScource/Columbia Gas Transmissions, and is part of the Holly Point Nature Trail being developed at the Deltaville Maritime Museum at 287 Jackson Creek Road. The Trail is open during daylight hours for all to enjoy, and dont be surprised to see a few resident groundhogs enjoying their summer home in the meadow.
