Flowering Shrubs of Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada

Flowering Shrubs of Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada by Spencer, Shirley. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781597141123.

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.
