Trillium Grandiflorum is the scientific name of what we in the Northwoods of California call Trillium and look for every spring. It is important to use the scientific names with children because there are several common names for many flowers. In this case: White Trillium, Great Trillium, White Wake Robin, and Bath Flower. Some of the most interesting flowers, corollas, pistils, colors can be found in tiny or grand specimens in nature. Learning this helps open a child's eyes to the wonders of nature all around her.
47 common North American wildflowers are illustrated and described. The colorful die-cut photograph of the flower at the top of each card makes it easy for even young children to identify a specimen. Also included is a picture of the whole plant, plus information on the life cycle, natural range/habitat, flowering time, flower colors, and height. Each card is 10.5" long.
For a 3-6 class use two sets, cutting off the flower part of each "fandex flash card" to make three-part reading cards. For reference laminate a third set and cut in such a way that the child can actually trace the flower with her fingers, and read the valuable information on the back. This is also useful for the 6-12 class where the study of flowers continues in a new way.
