This year was a great year for Central Texas wildflowers. They were beautiful and I was fortunate enough to do this during the wildflower season.
This badge was difficult in the beginning because I had to
be able to identify 50 different wildflowers. After a couple months I was able
to, and although I am still working on being able to identify some of them with
just looking at them, I know the vast majority of them all.
Also another part of this badge was to know three poisonous
plants, I ended up finding four. One is Poison Ivy, it can irritate the skin,
Buttercup can injure the digestive system if you eat any part of it. So never
eat a small yellow flower. Then there is also the Iris, it can upset your
digestive system if you eat the underground stem portion. Bull-nettle or Mala
Mujer, is also poisonous, all but the seed pod you cannot eat. And I do not
know the symptoms, but I just wouldn’t eat it.
