DESCRIPTION: Written for people with no botanical knowledge who are curious about the names of wildflowers, this book is beautifully illustrated with 214 full-color photos arranged by color of flower. Each photo refers the reader to the text description of the flower, which includes the common and botanical name, areas where it is found, and possible uses by Native Americans and pioneers.

This guide should be in the glove box of every Southern Californian who ever vowed to “be sure to see the wildflower blooms this year.”
