The First Book of Wildflowers

by BETTY CAVANNA

The First Book of Wildflowers – Flowers first appeared on wild plants millions of years ago, about the time when such creatures as the dinosaurs died out. The flowers bloomed and seeded and spread, adapting themselves to new places and changing to meet new conditions, until now there are more than 32,000 different kinds in the United States alone.

Heat and cold, moisture and dryness, sun and shade, the chemical nature of the soil, and the length of day and night all these had an effect on the plants. Over the centuries different varieties developed through the process of evolution.

Evolution is a series of changes which gradually results in new kinds of plants, some of them increasingly well suited to the surrounding’s in which they find themselves.

Most flowers produce seeds which, under proper conditions, grow into new plants of the same kind. Occasionally, however, by a change known as mutation, a seed will grow into a plant somewhat different from the one that produced it.

Usually, the new kind of plant is not so we fitted to its environment as the old one. Once in a while, however, it turns out to be better fitted. When this happens, the new type of plant is more likely to grow and flourish. So, by a long series of such lucky changes, new kinds of flowers are developed.

In the long run the strongest, the healthiest, and the most adaptable the most able to fit into their surroundings -survive and spread.

Long years ago some wild plants became orchids suited to grow
on tree branches in jungles, others became daisies or vio ets in
meadows, and still others became cacti which could survive in the desert to use they developed thick, fleshy storage places for the water their roots took up during the rainy season.

Botanists, the scientists who study flowers, arrange them in groups which they call orders, families, genera, and species. The Botanists call each plant by a Ladn name, which can be understood by students all over the world, no matter what language they speak.

In this book we shall give the Latin name below the one commonly used in the United States. Just as children in the same family are likely to resemble one another, plants of the same species are much alike, with many traits in common.
