About The House...
(Listed on National Register of Historic Places)
Wildflowers is that absorbing combination of new and old that gladdens the heart without taxing the rest of you. A full restoration of this 1891 Victorian home provides the best of everything. Its open rooms, high ceilings, abundant light, and ready access to the gardens have a modern feel. The hand-carved staircase, original chandeliers, beveled and stained glass windows, period furnishings, and oriental rugs add a note of elegance. Original art throughout the house gives it the warmth and distinction. Two balconies provide sweeping views of the mountains and the town.
About The Hosts...
You will be warmly welcomed by the owners and hosts, Cill Sparks and Jeri Parker. They spent many years planning Wildflowers while pursuing other careers, Cill as a nurse administrator at the University Medical Center, Jeri as an artist, writer and educator.
About The Breakfasts...
Jeri and Cill don't stint on breakfast. This is their favorite part of the day, and they plan to spoil you as well as themselves. They've written their own cookbook, which is in its second edition. Gourmet is the word here, and inventiveness. Breakfasts include the house special--cornmeal pancakes topped with black beans, salsa verde and sour cream. Strata, raised waffles with fresh strawberries, a heavenly baked spinach and egg dish, and blueberry-stuffed French toast are other favorites.
From the Guests...
"Three things draw me back to Wildflowers: The kindness of the innkeepers; the charm of the inn; and the remarkable art collection on the walls. During each visit I have fallen in love with a painting that I purchased for my own collection. All of the paintings are done by one of the innkeepers, Jeri Parker. The other innkeeper, Cill Sparks, is one of life's treasures, cooks gourmet breakfasts, and keeps everything spotless and tastefully decorated. I highly recommend Wildflowers to anybody in Salt Lake City for business or pleasure."
....Earnest M. Posey, President, J.T. Posey Company, Arcadia, California
About The Rooms...
All of the five rooms keep the feeling of the home. Simple elegance and guest comfort have guided their design. Three have remarkable views. One is a suite of rooms that occupies the entire third floor, including full kitchen, living room, and dining room. All have private baths and telephones. All are air conditioned.
About The Gardens...
Cill and Jeri were lucky to have one of the designers of the gardens at Temple Square assist in the design of their wildflower gardens. Their view is that, taken loosely, any flower was once wild. The gardens feature larkspur, columbine, foxglove, wild geraniums, lupine, meadow rue, cosmos, coreopsis, and many others. In spring, over six hundred tulips are in bloom. The gardens are surrounded by blue spruce and quaking aspen.
About The Area...
Wildflowers sits amid homes of Old Salt Lake, ten of which are also on the National Register of historic Places. The well-kept neighborhood cherishes its ties to the past and maintains the character of the early homes and their ample yards. It is less than ten minutes to downtown, less than a minute's walk to a bus stop, and no more than a thirty-minute drive to the mountains and their renowned ski areas. Two of the 2002 Winter Olympic venues are along this thirty-minute drive.
