[Jennifer]

highly recommended by others who enjoying IDing wildflowers, especially the Chiwaukee Prairie guide. can't wait to put it to the test this spring-summer-fall.

When they say comprehensive, they mean it.

Packed with color photos.

Features many invasive species labeled "Stop It!" that they are asking us not to plant or to remove.
