The Trail of the Wild Flowers – Part 1
Lucy Ladd Stratton combined her diaries and letters home to write this memoir about her discovery of wild flowers to paint and her accompanying adventures. Upon Lucy’s death in 1936, her 1568 watercolor wild flower paintings were given to the Library of Congress. Sandy Nellis Lane photographed many of the paintings to insert them into Lucy’s prose.
Sandy Nellis Lane grew up on the 1760 Nellis farm near Herkimer, NY and after earning a BS in Horticulture at Cornell University, she spent time teaching Biology, being a seamstress and then 15 years as an analyst at the New York State Thruway Authority Headquarters in Albany, NY. Now retired, she lives with her husband in Johnstown, NY and is studying wildflowers, editing Lucy’s writing, knitting and kayaking.
