Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Many of us have stopped to pick bunches of wildflowers or have admired them as they flourished in fields, hiking trails, and roads. Always appreciated but not always recognized, now these beauties can easily be identified with Wildflowers in the Field and Forest, the most inclusive field guide available to the wildflowers of the northeastern United States.Designed for easy use, the book features twopage spreads with descriptive text and range maps on one side facing pages of color photos on the other. The descriptions are concise, but thorough, and the range maps show both where the plant grows and what time of year it is likely to be in bloom. Plants are grouped by flower color, usually the feature first noticed by the observer. The species are subsequently grouped by petal arrangement, type of leaves, and number of flower parts as indicated in the 'quick characters' box at the top of each page. There is also a simple key in the beginning of the book that allows one to quickly narrow the search to a few pages. In addition to the more common and conspicuous wildflowers, many of the lesser known, and often overlooked, species are also depicted. Fullcolor photos generally show the flowers of the plant, and while insets of leaves (and occasionally fruits) are often included to help in identification. A bar on each photo allows users to accurately judge the actual size of each flower.Both serious botanists and casual nature observers will welcome this beautifully illustrated and expertly detailed guide.BL The most comprehensive field guide for the northeastern United States, including New England, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, with additional coverage of adjacent areas in eastern CanadaBL Over 1,400 species are described; nearly all are illustrated by beautiful color photographsBL Photographs accurately depict the flowers; insets show details of leaves and other featuresBL Photos, descriptions, and maps on facing pages make the book simple to useBL Colorcoded maps indicate both the range of the species and the time when it is in bloom
