 Wildcrafting, a Way of Life Wildcrafting, harvesting plants and herbs from the wild for food, medicine, or craft, is important to the Luther family because it brings them money, in the realistic fiction novel //Where the Lilies Bloom// by Vera and Bill Clever. For example, the plant Yellow Dock, //Rumex cripus,// is found by the Luther children on Sugar Boy while looking for Lady Slipper. Yellow dock is a plant found in common waste ground in the summer, with large heart shaped lacy leaves. Its primary use is a medicine used to purify blood, relieve diarrhea, and sooth sore throats. However, Yellow dock should not be taken in large doses. In addition, Mary Call mentions the plant Sweet Elder, Sambucus nigro, when she is thinking about how in the summer they will gather Sweet Elder. Sweet Elder is used mainly as a food. The berries on the sometimes eight foot tall plant with clusters of white flowers are sometimes mashed up and used as a pie filling or a wine. Sweet Elder grows in the spring in forested temperate or subtropical climates, such as North America. The Native American Indians used Sweet Elder for stomachaches, eye lotion, and a slave for bruises. Furthermore, Lady Slipper or //Cypripediun Calceolus// was mentioned in Mary Call’s thoughts when she was thinking about all the plants on the mountain blooming. One use for Lady Slipper is a powder or fluid extract medicine, the Native Americans also used it to calm nerves. Lady Slipper, sometimes called Yellow Lady Slipper, is a plant with yellow pouches and brown and red flowers. Often found in North America and Europe, Lady Slipper blooms in cool, damp places in half shade during the summer. However, Lady Slipper should not be taken in large doses. In conclusion, Wildcrafting defiantly benefited the Luther family.
