Wild Flowers
Beauty Thriving in Nature
What are wildflowers?
Wildflowers are flowers that are found in places such as forests or
fields, rather than in a yard or garden. Typically, they are native
to wherever they are bloomming. Native plants are important to our
ecosystem. They play roles that support our everyday lives, such as
providing us with food or helping to cycle toxic elements from our
environment.
