We've been using NaturExplorers e-books by my friend and fellow blogger, Melissa. We started with the Wildflower one, but she has a ton, do check them out! Click the above graphic and it will take you there.
We used the notebooking pages this past week and found out about our state flower.
The white and lavender Columbine, or the scientific name Aquilegia caerules, was adopted as the official Colorado state flower on April 4, 1899.

When I was still single, I went on a singles retreat to Crested Butte one summer. Some friends and I were hiking up on the mountain and I noticed your beautiful flower and started picking them in great quantities. When we got back to our lodging I started to put my bouquet in a large glass of water when one of our sponsors from Crested Butte saw my bouquet and gasped, "You're not supposed to pick those! They're somewhat rare and they're protected by law!" So for the rest of my "retreat" I expected to see the flower police coming to take me away, LOL!
Yes, Melissa and her friend's curriculum is a real gem, I have the erosion one and love it!
Blessings, Julie
