A Jackson Hole Tale

The flowers in the meadow high in the Tetons like to use big words. Summer is short in the mountains, and the flowers must be pollinated if they are to have children in the spring. The wind brings pollen to one, and a hummingbird brings pollen to another. The last is a heliotropic (sun-facing) flower whose warmth attracts a bug, demonstrating pollination by heliotropic symbiosis.This has the classic naive illustrations and characteristic sleepy ending of one of Betsy Wolff Frey's Lost Civilization Bedtime Stories.
