Reply:Any flower that's not endangered or locally rare (more than 20 at a site any you can take one with landowner permission, as a general rule).

Right now, the red maids and milk maids are blooming; so are the blue-eyed grass and geraniums, the miner's lettuce and buttercups.
Reply:Just have a look around - you shouldn't need to go far to find some if you look hard enough - daisy, dandilion ... etc. have a look in the nearest park (but obiously look for the plants that aren't meant to be there - weeds etc., then try to identify them - there should be a flora (a book that you use to identify plants) in your local libary. If you want to impress, I'd go for the more imaginative things like grass flowers.



I don't know about in the us but I know in the uk you are aloud to pick wild flowers as long as you don't disrupt the roots.



Good luck!
