How do we amateurs learn about plants? Googling is OK, but mostly we look in books, such as this new one by Charles Allen, Ken Wilson, and Harry Winters.

Louisiana Wildflowers is available at NativeVenturesBooks

So once we figure out what that beautiful plant is, how do we go

about reproducing it on our own property? If it’s legal and harmless to the plant’s population in the wild, we can grow from seeds.

Back to the books we go!

William Cullina’s book is the best reference we’ve found for learning how to propagate wild plants by

planting seeds or taking cuttings.
