Assignment 4:Wildcrafting Umbrella Wildcrafting in the Lilies Wildcrafting, the growing and gathering of herbs and other wild plants for food and medicine, is important to the Luther family in the realistic fiction novel, //Where the Lilies Bloom// by Bill and Vera Cleaver. One of the first plants mentioned in the book was balsam when Mary Call smelled the air. Balsam in Latin known as //Abies balsamea// or a sweet smelling plant commonly know as sweet gum, gum tree, and red gum. It can grow to be 140 feet tall, grows year round, has gray bark and corky ridges on the twigs. Balsam is used to make foods also like gum, tobacco, and candy. Another plant mentioned in the book was Deer’s tongue or in Latin //carphephorus odoratissimus//. This plant was mentioned in the book when Mr. Connell said a couple of plants the children could sell. This plant has smooth perennial leaves elliptic to one foot, toothed or entire, vanilla scented when dried, and the flowers are pink or lavender. Deer’s tongue grows between July and October from North Carolina to Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. A couple of uses for it is to stop swelling, to flavor tobacco and for thinning blood. Folklore says it is a remedy for cough and malaria. One of the final plants mentioned in the book is black willow or in Latin //Salix nigra//. It grows on low ground and along streams from New Brunswick to Ontario in North Dakota, Florida and Texas in April through August. The black willow can grow to be one hundred twenty feet tall and the diameter of this tree is three feet wide. The Black willows leaves are narrow and long and skinny. They are shiny green on top and pale green below. Leaves are three to five inches long and may have very fine teeth. A use for the black willow is to help some animals stay alive because animals use it as a food source for White-tailed Deer, rabbits, small rodents, and Beaver which eat the bark, stems and twigs. Black Willow nectar is consumed by bees and other insects. The leaves of the willow are eaten by caterpillars. Black Willow supplies cover for many birds and small mammals, and cavities for creatures such as woodpeckers, raccoons, and others. Although all these plants sound great some aren’t so good for you although balsam and black willow are safe for you deer’s tongue causes a disease in the liver. These are only a couple of the plants mention in //Where the Liles Bloom.//
