Family leader is Mary Cal. Strong and fierce not pretty at all. She keeps Roy Luther's word as law. Hopefully that won't destroy them all. Mountains are green giants dominating, demanding, darkening. Climbing into the clouds and crawling across fields.

 Survival of the Luthers

Wildcrafting is interesting and profitable in the realistic novel //Where the Lillies// Bloom by Vera and Bill Cleaver. For example, the Luther children began to harvest

plants and herbs one of which is Maypop. Maypop (Passiflora Incarnata) is a wild vine that grows in the southern states of the United

States of America. The Luthers could make money off this plant by selling it to a drugstore. Maypop is used as a sedative and a mild

pain killer. The Native Americans also used it for sores and earaches. Maypop can also be referred to as passion flower or apricot vine.

The Luthers could also snack on it’s edible and tasty two inch long berries. The children also came upon lobelia. Lobelia (Lobeliaceae) is

a wildflower that also grows in the southern region of the United States of America. Lobelia can useful in respiratory problems

but you have to be careful when you use it. Lobelia can be deadly in sufficient quantities so be cautious. Cough medicine and

asthma inhalers contain some form of lobelia inside them. The Native Americans also used it as tobacco because of it’s similar

qualities to nicotine. Lobelia can also be called pokeweed or Indian tobacco. These wildcrafting plants helped the Luthers

survive in a time of great need and proved to be the "wild gold" that they needed to pull through.
