Description
The
fifth wildflower guide from Dee Strickler covers the
80 species of Penstemon native to the Pacific Northwest.
With notes on habitat, range, and plant features and
an outstanding glossary of botanical terms, this book
will delight all lovers of penstemons and will introduce
the largest genus of flowering plants native to North
America to countless other wildflower aficionados. As
with Dr. Strickler's earlier guides to the showy wildflowers
of the Northern Rockies, this volume features extraordinarily
sharp and vibrant full-color photographs of each flower. "Northwest
Penstemons" boasts a handy key, based on botanical
characteristics, for anyone interested in precise identifications,
plus a range map for each species, line drawings, and
an informative introduction. For any Pacific Northwest
nature lover who has asked, "What species of Penstemon
is that?" this handsome and useful book holds the
answer.
