Understanding basic botany is a valuable skill to possess. Knowing the names as well as the language of botany becomes increasingly important as you progress in your herbal journey. This is why we teach basic botany in our Fundamentals of Holistic Herbalism Program.
In the photo above you see the basic parts of a typical flower. Not all flowers will have this exact anatomy, but once you know all the parts you'll know enough to identify what is on other flowers.
Get familiar with the anatomy of a flower and you'll be even more ready to go out wildcrafting and foraging safely next spring!
