Wild by Nature ?

In the late 1990s man planted wild flower fields became very popular. It turned out that these engineered fields are very tricky to maintain. The wild flowers that want growing  in your field might get over run by a bunch of weeds. Not the fun mix of colors you had hoped for. To start out the field has to be stripped of existing plants. Then large quantiies of expesive seed are needed. Birds or other critters might eat much of that seed. If all works out you get a great show, if very lucky you get a show again the next year.
