A Rocky Mountain bee plant lending its color to a Colorado desert, a profusion of balsamroot and paintbrush clustered along the Columbia River Gorge, a sea of lupine blanketing the rolling grassland of the Zumwalt Prairie, the lovely lilac flowers of penstemon reveling in the rays of the sun—Audubon Wildflowers captures the exuberance of North America’s flowering plants. It celebrates the serendipitous desert bouquet, the blooms that burst forth in fields, the insistent stems that spring up along trails and meandering streams. Every month reveals vibrant jewels of color, shape, and texture. They are a vision of nature’s garden.
