Why Wildflowers?
Native plants help define our cities and create a unique sense of place. They are also
critical to urban biodiversity and habitat for wildlife. NYC has already lost over 40% of our native flora. Find out what you can do.		 Support NYCWW

These white and yellow flowers resemble a pair of pantaloons, hence
