Spring wildflowers
We've been taking walks and collecting wildflowers along the way. Armed with Newcomb's Wildflower Guide, we go back to the house and identify the flowers. Every now and then we get "stumped." A great resource that I learned about at the Maine Environmental Educator's Conference is http://gobotany.newenglandwild.org/. This website allows you to key out the flower you have, and shows multiple pictures. It asks you questions about the plant, guiding you in the right direction.
