An umbel is a collection of flowers on short stalks which spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs. The arrangement can vary from being flat-topped to almost spherical.

A leaf is compound when multiple leaflets are on the same stem.

meadow -- Large grass and wildflower filled area with few, if any, trees.

fruit -- any seed-bearing structure in flowering plants. It is formed from the ovary after flowering.

A herb is a plant whose stems die back to the ground in the winter.

Bracts are modified leaves associated with a flower.

Involucre is the name given to the circle or spiral collection of bracts around a flower-cluster.

Like the teeth on a saw, leaves and other surfaces can have toothed edges.

scree -- field of small, loose, slab rock. Common high on mountains.

pinnate -- A compound leaf with two rows of leaflets.

leaflets -- Each little leaf-like thing in a compound leaf is a leaflet.

capsule -- a type of simple, dry fruit produced by many species of flowering plants. In most cases the capsule splits apart to release seeds.

sheath -- a tubular or rolled part of an organ, e.g. the lower part of the leaf in most grasses.

alternate -- leaves alternate along the main stem and are attached singly.

schizocarp -- a dry fruit formed from more than one carpel (a female reproductive organ) but breaking apart into individual carpels when ripe.

lanceolate -- Lance-shaped. Long, wider in the middle.

A perennial plant lives and blooms for many years.
