National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to
Wildflowers of North America, David M. Brandenburg
Wherever even the smallest green
thing grows, there you’ll find wildflowers, be they huge, showy tropical
blossoms or pretty, tiny bloomers. North America alone is home to thousands of
species—and the National Wildlife Federation Field Guide to Wildflowers of
North America celebrates that wide diversity in grand fashion. From
Acanthaceae to Zygophyllaceaei, this beautiful, portable volume
provides the common and scientific names for each flower family; information on
the flowering season; leaf, stalk, and blossom descriptions, with measurements;
and color range maps of more than 700 species for both native and introduced

a nature walk.
