Spring flower time

Post Reply New Topic

It's spring (in the Northern Hemisphere), and flowers are everywhere. I highly recommend people to go out and check out the flowers, before they are gone.

Every morning while driving my daughter to school, she would look at the flowers alongside the road and ask me about their names. "There is an app for that." That was the sentence that went through my mind. Surely enough, I found the Pl@ntNet app.

So one day after school, I took my children out to take pictures of the flowers. Here are some of them.


Moreover, both the ABA lady and the babysitter have taken my daughter out to check out the flowers in the neighborhood. And here is a flower journal that my daughter has made. (Not schoolwork. It was just for fun.)


Last Thursday I also went as a chaperone to my daughter's school's field trip. It was hiking along a trail inside a state reserve, and the children learned a lot about flowers. The park ranger volunteer was very nice and very knowledgeable. I also learned that squirrels would chew shed snake skin and lick over their own bodies for the purpose of scent camouflage.

So, there you go. How can any "autism app" out there compete with a child's own interest? Oh, and tomorrow I take my son to elevator rides again.

The flowers you took pictures of are beautiful!
