About 1,800 different kinds of wildflowers splash their colors across the soggy wetlands, shady forests, and windy prairies of Minnesota. Look carefully and you'll find everything from dainty bluebells to tough stinging nettles, from fragrant lilies of the valley to stinky skunk cabbage, from insect-eating pitcher plants to delicious blueberries. In Minnesota Wildflowers you'll discover that even the most common wildflowers have interesting stories to tell. For example did you know that... Indians roasted the seeds of the yellow pond lily like popcorn. You can make candy, jelly, syrup, or tea from violet blossoms. Early peoples used the fluffy seeds of the butterfly weed to stuff pillows and decorate their hats. Queen Anne of England wore the blossom of the Queen Anne's lace on her collar instead of cloth lace. Other titles in the Interpreting the Great Outdoors series include California Wildflowers, Arizona Wildflowers, and Oregon Wildflowers. Through these books, you can learn to appreciate the blossoms that decorate your own favorite corner of the world.
