A large crowd converged at Rivertown Community Church last Wednesday for the Panhandle Wildflower Alliance meeting.
Representatives from a variety of agencies and community groups shared the importance of the wildflower that goes far beyond the beautification value.
No wildflowers equals no honey bees equals no crops! Raising awareness for the wildflower has led to a festival in downtown Blountstown April 25, along with a Miss Florida Wildflower Festival Pageant set for April 18 (go to www.missflwildflowerfestival.com to enter).
