This morning we went on our nature walk at a local park. We got there about 9:30am and went looking for three different types of wildflowers to photograph and learn about. When we got home we looked them up in our field guide.
The first one we found was yellow goats beard. It is a member of the daisy family. It has grass like leaves but resembles a dandeloin.
The next one we came across was a bloodroot flower. They like shady areas and have heart shaped leaves. Native Americans used the red liquid from their roots as an ink or for paint.
Then we saw a lot of red clover in the fields. It can be used to make tea. Deer love to eat it too!
