PeeWee Report

Wildflower Walk
On Saturday April 4th, I went on the Pee Wee Audubon wildflower hike at the Van Hoosear Wildflower Preserve and I had a great time! One of the things I learned from Peter the naturalist was that when a lupine losses its nectar the little white spot darkens. Again, that was just one thing that I learned. I also tasted a plant called miner's lettuce, but it is very dull in taste. I also tasted sheep sorrel and it was the good one, it tasted sweet and sour at the same time, but Peter said not to eat too much of it.

Our group identified some of these flowers and plants: soap plant, suncup, fiddle neck, baby blue eyes, cranesbill (I like to make scissors with them), California poppies, iris, blue eyed grass, mountain viola, pepperweed, popcorn flowers and checkerbloom. Peter also told us that the licorice plant is not a native plant to our country. I had a wonderful time learning about and exploring the wildflowers. Thank you Pee Wee Audubon.
