Well, the Wildflower Challenge has been exactly that—challenging. So far, we have only one winner (Jennifer from Minneapolis—Yay!).

So, to help you along, I am going to give you some hints from our books Wildflowers of the Boundary Waters:

Flower #1: “As you might expect, its seedpod resembles the pea pods you’ve picked from your garden or purchased in the grocery store, but in miniature.”

 Flower #2: “Its oil has proved promising in the treatment of asthma, migraines, arthritis, acne, weight loss, and other maladies.”

  Flower #3: American Indians sliced and dried the tubers to fill a major portion of their food supply.”

Again, you may email me your answers at mary.poggione@mnhs.org with “Wildflower Challenge” in the subject header. the first people four to get them all right wins a free book.
