Book
Description
Remarkably
sharp and detailed photographs make Dee Strickler's wildflower
books superior field and reference guides. "Forest
Wildflowers" helps hikers, campers, botanists and
nature lovers identify more than 130 common wildflowers
in the forested areas of the northern and central Rocky
Mountains, including Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado,
and Utah. Many of the flowers also grow wild in Oregon,
Washington, and adjacent Canada.
The vibrant, full-color
photos, combined with precise descriptions of each flower's
key characteristics, habitat, and range, make wildflower
identification easier than ever. "Forest Wildflowers" is
one of three titles from Dee Strickler that form a comprehensive
series about wildflowers in the Rocky Mountain states.
The other titles are "Alpine Wildflowers" and "Prairie
Wildflowers". A fourth book, "Wayside Wildflowers
of the Pacific Northwest" identifies nearly 400
showy wildflowers from western Montana to the Pacific
Coast. Book five, "Northwest Penstemons" includes
the 80 species of Penstemon that grow wild in the four
northwestern states.
