The fascinating world of plants.
The juice of one makes invisible ink. Another spring-releases it seeds at a force greater than the equivalent lift-off of a rocket launching into space. Some have toxic sap that beggars in old England applied to their skin to make pathetic looking sores. Many plants were/are used by Native Americans in a myriad of interesting ways … including witchcraft and love-medicines! Some plants are toxic in one form yet beneficial in another. We never know when we find a new species what intriguing information there is to learn about it - and share on this website.
Look for these symbols on our latin name index    for these kinds of information about the plants we have identified in our wanders.

Welcome to this sharing of wildflower identification, a hobby offering deep enrichment of our lives. The arrangement of blooms by color has been of great assistance to us, as amateur hobbyists, in the identification of wildflowers. This is the organizational basis of the galleries. Please feel free to eMail your feedback, suggestions, corrections, or questions. It is our pleasure to share our photographs in the hope that wildflower identification may spark your interest and enhance your joy in nature, as it so richly has done for us.
