More than just meadows, discover wildflowers that are pollinated by birds, that look like stones, and that feed on the creatures around them.Humans have had a close relationship with wildflowers throughout history from growing dahlias as crops and comfrey as medicine, to carrying posies to ward off the plague and roses down the aisle.
