Wildflowers are different from many wild things in that they don't scurry away never to be seen again, and they are not afraid when we approach them. Wildflowers are wonderful. They are colorful, they smell good, and they are everywhere. They are an integral part of our environment appearing almost as if by magic in our backyards, neighborhoods, local parks, woods, and fields. With a little effort, we can become acquainted with the wildflowers of our yards and neighborhoods, learn their names, and even a little more about them. You will find yourself looking forward to them each year and will discover that you learn something new each season. The purpose of this book is five-fold. First, it will help you learn to identify the most common wildflowers in any neighborhood, field, yard, or park. Second, you will learn about the basic anatomy of the plant and its flowers as an aid in the identification process. Third, you will come to appreciate the role of the wildflower in the world of nature. It is exciting to realize that the Goldfinch feeding on the thistledown of the Bull Thistle could mean the young are in a nest nearby, or that perhaps the Finch is taking the thistledown to build a nest. It is fascinating to know the Teasel head will soon be getting two rings of flowers as it continues blooming, and if it is to be used in a dried fall flower arrangement we need to bring gloves in order to handle it safely. The fourth purpose of this book is to encourage you to use these plants in your own backyards and gardens. Many of these plants can be successfully used to enhance the landscape design. Often this can be done as effortlessly as collecting seeds or digging a plant or two. However, care must be taken not to violate any laws or the integrity of another's property. Many wildflower gardeners are willing to share. Wildflower gardening is very popular and many gift catalogs exist as well as local garden shops that can take care of your needs. As this book cannot possibly cover all the wildflowers, the fifth purpose is to pique your curiosity and encourage you to learn more about other plants and wildflowers.
