+Poidawg Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I live in the North Bay of California and was going to post this in the West and Southwest forum, but really this can be done anywhere a field of wildflowers are going to be blooming... I am totally into wildflowers. I go out every year and photograph them and try to identify them. I am wondering if anyone would be interested in a seasonal wildflower cache. It would have to be seasonal and I could place it in the middle of a wildflower field which I know would be blooming. I could put a wildflower ID book into the cache and an afternoon among the wildflowers could be had by all. There would not have to be any trading. Just bring a drink and a sandwich or some other delictable munchie, bring the dog and the kids and have a blooming good time, what do you think? Do you think it should have trades as well? I can get used ID books for very little - so that would not be a problem if it was covetted and taken home by someone. Quote Link to comment
+WalkinMike Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I think this is a wonderful idea. I would so love to find a cache like this. I say go for it! Make sure you keep the cache page updated as the blooming season changes. Quote Link to comment
+Magoonies Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Neet idea. I love anything a little different. I think if you put a sticker on the book or books saying it is not a trade item but a reference, they would stay around a while. Quote Link to comment
Luckless Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I like it, but you'd probably want to locate the cache somewhere cachers like me who go around and round in circles don't tample the plants. Quote Link to comment
+Poidawg Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Good idea, I know of a few places close to the wildflowers where I can hide the cache without anyone trampling them..Thank you Quote Link to comment
+Robespierre Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Could you do that in central Ohio, please? Quote Link to comment

Why not just post pics of the various species on the cache page along with the bloom times, and the finders can add to the "collection"? Quote Link to comment
+Blue Bomb Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Robespierre Posted Today, 11:00 AM Could you do that in central Ohio, please? I just came back from Wooster Memorial Park, and noticed you have been there as well. Not quite central Ohio, but when I was there on May 1st two years ago, there were wildflowers blooming all over the place. Maybe just get a book from the library and head on up there in spring?

The cache would have to be there for at least 3 months to abide by the guidelines. Why not leave it there all year? We have one here in CT called Come Back Next Spring. You can find it all year long, but as you can see by the logs, most cachers do save it for spring, and many cachers (myself included) return every year. Be sure to check the gallery on that cache!
