Please Don't Pick the Flowers

In this installment in CFI's alpine ecology video series, alpine ecologist John Giordanengo tells viewers why hikers and wildflower viewers should never pick wildflowers. Living in an inhospitable area at the edge of possible life, these alpine plants spend years creating a single bloom. Picking flowers like this prevents the creation of seeds that are necessary for the propagation of future plants.
