The wildflowers here are lovely. I am trying to capture as many as i can from all sorts of settings. For now I am getting pictures and over time I hope to be able to  name them all with their right names. Lots of them I am calling names that I have known since a child but I have discovered that some of those names are not correct and were really pet names – sort of.

Some are standard – golden rod, daisies, but some like fireweed and what I call purple or white asters are names that change depending on who you speak to. Think bunchberries, pigeon berries and the other many names we call those lovely little flowers that are in all of our lawns.

So feel free to send me any thoughts about names and any pics that you may have that I don’t yet have.

  1. Jane – I have a few old, colour plated, wild flower book at Spruce Cliff. It was Grace’s bible. Go and get it, it will help you figure out the real names. I think it is in the front bedroom
