What Is a Wildflower?

A wildflower is one that has not been planted or seeded by anyone, or that naturally grows in the wild. Many native plants have been around for decades, even centuries, in a certain spot, such as forests, meadows and other natural areas. Often, these flowers spread as a result of nature, from ants to butterflies and seeds scattering due to the weather. That's why you may seem them anywhere and everywhere.
