Flowers of the Prairie

With a copy of the “Prairie and Woodland Flowers Coloring Book” as reference, this presentation by Dr. Danuta Hutchins of Humanities Iowa identifies prairie wildflowers, their common English names and Linnaeus-based classification in Latin. Learn when they blossom, where they grow, and what medicinal and food uses have they served during the times of early pioneers and Native American Peoples. This program includes a “hands-on” component of drawing/coloring images of those flowers.
