Where Wildflowers Bloom

Faith Lindberg longs to go west on the Oregon Trail until she realizes the love of her life may not be the man of her dreams.

By definition, a wildflower is a flower that grows freely, resiliently, and radiantly. But it is actually the strokes of the wind that really test the flower's resilience to grow freely and beautifully. In this collection of poems, the author portrays the different phases and emotions that we(wildflowers) experience and different tests(wind) that we endure in life.

When you are in the midst of toxicity you are in a cloud of haze. My rock bottom nearly killed me. To this day if I told you what I experienced you would say it was a horror sci-fi movie. I was externally attacked. Everything that was done to me was done in the dark and hidden. I survived because at the core of me I knew who I was and what I stand for ...which is peace, love, acceptance, freedom. There was no quick fix, this was a daily conscious effort on my part. My Poetic thoughts are about my painful and beautiful experiences. I've always been someone who focuses on the good and for me writing about my experiences turned my betrayals, traumas and things that needed to be healed within me into something beautiful. I had to find the master within myself. To calm the tornado of emotions within to truly set myself free.

Describes thirty common species of wild flowers from the black-eyed Susan to the Johnny jump-up. Includes activities and scrapbook pages.

Here is the most inclusive field guide available to the wildflowers in the northeastern United States. Designed for easy use, the book features two-page spreads with descriptive text and range maps on one side facing pages of color photos on the other. The descriptions are concise, but thorough, and the range maps show both where the plant grows and what time of year it is likely to be in bloom. Plants are grouped by flower color, usually the feature first noticed by the observer. The species are subsequently grouped by petal arrangement, type of leaves, and number of flower parts as indicated in the "quick characters" box at the top of each page.

This volume presents a detailed description of more than thirty-five wildflower species of the Northeast, describing their colors, habitats, range, pollination, history, cultural lore, medicinal uses, and literary and artistic references. The spring-blooming wildflowers looked at range from old favorites to lesser-known species. Featuring more than 500 full-color photos in large-sized format, the book delves deep into the life histories, lore, and cultural uses of more than 35 plant species. The narrative covers topics such as the naming of wildflowers; the reasons for taxonomic changes; pollination of flowers and dispersal of seeds; uses by Native Americans; related species in other parts of the world; herbivores, plant pathogens, and pests; medicinal uses; and wildflower references in history, literature, and art. The photos capture the beauty of these plants and also illustrate the concepts discussed in the text.
