The National Garden Bureau has declared 2013 the year of the wildflower in order to honor these perennial plants, which used to spring up across the prairie and grow without help from anything or anybody. Adding color and texture to the grasses, wildflowers were generally found in a specific geographic area and are often called native plants, the Garden Bureau points out.
