Grette has been drawing and painting since she was a child. Her favorites are wildflowers which she paints live in watercolor, faithfully reproducing the color and features.

Recalling that her mother and grandmother gathered the plants and flowers she painted for the table, Grette began to sample the wildings herself.

She nibbles Violets, Spiderwort, Sorrel, and Rose petals while in the field and enjoys cooking with wildflowers when at home in Rolla, Missouri.

She wanted to share her wonderful discoveries with others and began by sending hand-painted cards to her closest friends. Her first card was the Day Lily which gets its name from the fact that blossoms last only one day.

This was the beginning of the current card line which is becoming very popular with kitchen and gourmet food stores as well as book and health food stores not only because the wildflowers themselves are actually edible but because of the faithful attention to detail of these original watercolor designs.

In short, here is God's supermarket blooming on a card rack.

The wildflowers presented were found in Phelps County, Missouri. However, they are widespread in the Mid Western States.

The text on the back of each card is loaded with information on the parts of each plant and how to prepare them for best results.

The plate overflowing with wildflowers is shown on the back of each card and where significant, roots, berries and seeds are also illustrated.

The bookmarks are available individually, or wholesale, shrinkwrapped in assorted packages of six. The bookmarks are printed on the same flax colored recycled stock and are laminated for greater durability. Each bookmark contains a full wildflower recipe on the back.
