PostersEnjoy these posters featuring the Celebrating Wildflowers program and related themes on our National Grasslands and Forests. Celebrating WildflowersCelebrating Wildflowers is dedicated to the enjoyment of the thousands of wildflowers growing on our national forests and grasslands, and to educating the public about the many values of native plants. Celebrating Wildflowers - EthnobotanyPlants give us food, drink, shelter, medicine, fiber, dyes, waxes, essential oils, perfumes, and the air we breathe. Countless people before us tested and kept plants that were useful. Our cultures evolved by passing ever more sophisticated knowledge of plants along from generation to generation. Even in this age, we depend on plants and their pollinators for our existence and survival. Celebrating Our National Grasslands, Prairies, and Wildflowers"A world of grasses and flowers stretched around me, rising and falling in gentle undulation. Acres of wildflowers of every hue glowed around me. What a new and wondrous world of beauty! What a magnificent sight! I was in the midst of a prairie!" Eliza R.
