I just planted 50 Iris Hollandica bulbs in the back yard. I also sprinkled a couple of areas with deer resistant wild flower mix. I planted 1/4 pound of Mixed sun flower seeds along the front berm and along the border of the vegetable garden area.
Since I was on a roll, I decided to throw out a pound or two of grass seed in the front area. Last year it was bare ground and I had put out about 10 pounds of seed. The quail discovered it and ate the majority of the seed. It was like night of the living dead: every morning a swarm of quail would come and feast. The number of quail would increase, until the seed was gone. I ended up with a little grass and a lot of weed.
I got the flower seeds and bulbs from Eden Brothers. their web site is www.edenbrothers.com
Hopefully in the spring there will a new look to the yard!
