Flowering Shrubs of Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada

by Shirley Spencer

While the trees of Yosemite thrill visitors and the wildflowers often steal the show, every year the blue elderberry, the snowberry, the American dogwood, and dozens of other shrubs bloom in a glory all their own. This lovely volume, with inspired watercolors showing the fruit, flowers, and foliage of the plants, pays these shrubs full homage. Complete with useful information for plant identification, this book serves as a welcome and needed introduction to some of Yosemite’s most interesting and often under appreciated flora.

LOVELY illustrations with detailed information and key information. Shirley Spencer does an amazing job with her sketches- I love the book just for its pictures, and I can see how when needing to use it for reference, how useful it would be. It's a small book - you could take it with you on hikes!
