The Importance of Wildcrafting in //Where the Lilies Bloom//

In the realistic fiction novel //Where the Lilies Bloom,// by Bill Cleaver, the Luthers find that they can profit well from wildcrafting, which is a hobby where plants are collected for medical uses. For instance, they found the herb, Blue Cohosh, which earned them a couple of dollars. Blue Cohosh (//Caulophyllum thalictroides//) is a plant who’s natural habitat is in moist deciduous woods. It has plenty of medical uses such as relieving stomach cramps, making childbirth easier, help with bronchitis, plenty more. It rarely grows more than two and a half inches. They are either yellow and green or purple and brown. Their leaves are one to three inches long. They normally start to bloom around spring and one caution was not to overdose on it because it has a poisonous alkaloid called methylcytisine. Another helpful plant to the Luthers was Star Grass. Star grass (//Hypoxis hemerocallidea)// grows twelve to twenty-four inches. Its leaves are sword shaped and they range from two to six inches so it is not very noticeable being so small. It has many uses such as pest control, erosion control, weed control. As a result, the Luther proved that wildcrafting is very profitable to the Luthers in //Where the Lilies Bloom.//
