Common Wildflowers of Washington & Oregon

by J. Duane Sept

Our wildflowers are a burst of color! Using clear, crisp images Duane Sept has captured the essence of their colors and beauty on film. This photographic guide makes it easy to identify these wonders of the natural world. A total of 120 common species are featured in full color. With each wildflower species there is an easy to understand description as well as additional names and helpful notes such as edible plants, native plant use and similar species. Who would guess that some plants produce up to 300,000 seeds from one plant or that a few wildflowers only open their flowers on sunny days merely to close them around noon. In addition there is helpful information about habitats, conservation, a wildflower checklist and much more. Wildflowers are certainly not dull and there is more to them than meets the eye.
