NOW AND IN THE FUTURE

By knowing our wildflowers we can better preserve them for ourselves and for the future.

Wildflowers are often abundant, but they are not indestructible - many of our loveliest ones are in danger of extinction by our carelessness.  This need not happen if we observe the following rules of courtesy:

  1. Do not pick the wildflowers.   Enjoy them and leave them for someone else to enjoy.  They are perishable and have a very short "indoor" life; also, with many of them, roots as well as seeds are killed when the flowers are picked.
  1. Do not try to transplant them into your garden.   Almost without exception, they do not tolerate root disturbance.   Your chances of success in raising them domestically are far greater if you begin with seed.   Even so, many of them ne ed soil, temperature, and other conditions not available outside of their immediate environment.
  1. Be respectful of them in their natural environment.   Do not injure them with fire, tramping, or other thoughtless acts.

(This is an excerpt from a book published in 1914.  Even 83 years ago naturalists were concerned for the conservation of the wild flora!)
