Lately I’ve been reading a book called A Guide to Enjoying Wildflowers by Donald and Lillian Stokes (Little, Brown & Company, 1985). It’s a very interesting and highly informative book about wildflowers. The guide covers how different flower varieties came to North America, why flowers have certain names, where to locate some wildflowers, and more.

These are five entertaining facts I’ve learned from the book:

1. Daisies were originally from Asia.

2. Black-Eyed Susan flowers have rough stems to keep the plant moist.

3. Skunk cabbage is only found near streams.

4. Dandelions do not fully open until 8:00 AM.

5. In the Middle Ages, the Iris was a symbol of French royalty.

I can’t wait until the first flowers around here start blooming!
