Book Description
Alpine Beauty explores the wildflowers and flowering shrubs commonly found in the subalpine and alpine environments in the Rocky Mountains of western Canada. Due to harsh weather conditions, the plants that exist at higher elevations are generally different than those at lower elevations. In this environment, low shrub and herb communities become the rule. The plants tend to be dwarf-sized, low-growing, fast-growing in the short season, and covered with fine, soft hairsall adaptations to the harsh environment.Alpine Beauty will inform and intrigue readers of all ages, while also assisting with plant identification and recognition. Exceptional photographs and interesting information about each plant make this book ideal for hikers and amblers of all skill levels. For ease of reference, the book is arranged by flower color and by plant family. A complete index is included, using common and scientific names for all plants. One final cautionary notethe pursuit of wildflowers can be addictive, though not hazardous to your health.
