Book Description
This is less of a traditional flower guide and more of a casual identification book designed for the individual who is taking a pleasant stroll through a mountain meadow. The little dots of color that speckle the hillside can now become familiar acquaintances. But instead of struggling to decide if you are gazing upon a Potentilla pulcherrima or a Potentilla subjuga, you can confidently say it is... some kind of cinquefoil. With a wave of your hand, Aquilegia coerulea easily becomes... a blue columbine. Exploring a wide assortment of flowers that span from the grasslands of the Great Plains up to the rocky tops of the Continental Divide, this book provides simple descriptions and clear photos.
