Nature Study
Monday May 18
The spring here at the little homestead has been busy.
Home education also includes whats going on in the garden.
My daughter Rachel has been doing some studies on flowers.
The first flower study for this year was the Bleeding Heart.
Here is a question for anyone. Do you have information on the
history of this little plant. I am talking about the heirloom
red variety. We have been searching for when it was
introduced. For all you veteran flower gardeners,
look through your books and let us know.
Again, I am always looking for a
new book or old.
The second flower was the Iris.
In our study we take apart the flower and
see how the insects get into the plant to get
the nectar.
My grandmother gave this one to me.
It is finally starting to reproduce.
