The first five wild flowers the kids could identify were of course the ones we consider weeds. They are everywhere. Clover. Dandelion. Morning Glory. Buttercup. Daisy.
Blackberries are a given as well. We went to a trail that I remembered had beautiful flower trees (a month ago). The trees are no longer flowering. Oh well, the kids pointed out other flowers to identify. I quickly realized my knowledge was not far beyond theirs on this subject. I did not know the following flowers names....
I have been searching to web and have found lots of flowers I commonly see in the forest (dwarf dogwood, bleeding hearts, foxgloves etc.). I can't find these specific ones the kids pointed out. I will keep looking. I think it is important to be able to identify wildlife. WE MUST FIND OUT THIER NAMES!
