I am available to
deliver non-technical presentations to general audiences and nature
groups on wildflowers, the relationship between wildflowers,
flowering plants and geology, and the relationship between geology
and society. Examples of these illustrated presentations are
available for review. Contact
me for details.
The PowerPoint
presentations on this website are web optimized, but are still large.
Some pages and
enhancements have been removed from the web version.
CAUTION
- Culinary and medicinal use of plants
To ensure the
safety of my audiences, I do not discuss culinary or medicinal uses
of plants. I may include information about medicinal of culinary uses
of plants for historical and cultural interest, but Andy's Northern
Ontario Wildflowers does not encourage, recommend, promote, or
endorse any folk remedies, cooking practices, or various uses of any
plant described on this web site. Many plants are toxic or can cause
unpleasant or adverse reactions if used or encountered carelessly.
Disclaimer:
I
am not a professional botanist. Wildflower photography is my hobby.
I have tried my best to correctly identify the plants. If there is an
error, please let me know.
