These 74 dual-sided cards provide a plethora of information for North American flowers. Card A explains flower parts; Card B explains composite flowers. Then, the top of each card identifies the blossom colors available. The cards display the flower in bloom and then the Latin name; actual size indications; and whether the flower is dicot, monocot, or composite. Quickly identifiable graphics indicate the growth; habitat; flower zones; flowering period; habitat and range; identification tips; and area of origin. Learn unique things about flowers, such as the fact that pitcher plants trap insects and “eat” them; that the Mountain Avens plant is the official emblem of the Canadian Northwest Territories; and which flowers are poisonous. The back of each card includes a full-size drawing of full blooms and blossoms. Rather than photographs, these are hand drawn and colored, and include a flashcard number for easy reference with Abeka® programs. Also included are diagram explanations of monocots and dicots; a handy field guide of common flower families; field guide; and habitats.

Description
You and your child will marvel at these beautiful illustrations of common wildflowers and garden flowers of North America that we all should be able to identify. They are the kind of learning tools for teaching and reviewing that you want to look at over and over! The set includes 74 (5½" x 8½") full-color cards.
The 4 concept cards identify the parts of a flower and monocots, dicots, and composites. The flower parts card identifies each part and its function on one side of the card; the other side is unlabeled for review. The monocots, dicots, and composites cards list the characteristics and representative flowers (including the flower flashcard number) on one side of the card. The opposite side illustrates the characteristics. Teach your child God’s marvelous design for flowers!
The 70 identification cards feature a full-color picture of the flower on one side of the card. The opposite side gives the flower’s name, an illustration that includes the scientific name, and helpful information for identifying the flower along with interesting facts. Open your child’s eyes to the natural beauty that surrounds us.
The accompanying 16-page booklet includes teaching instructions and helpful listings, such as categorizing the flowers by flower families or by their flowering seasons. You can quickly grab just the cards you need for flowers that may be blooming when you go on a field study.
Use the cards to improve your child’s observation skills and give him a deeper appreciation of God’s care and design in His creation. Display these colorful cards on bulletin boards or in the science corner or take them along outdoors for field studies. Gr. 4–7.
