The welcome, reassuring sight of wildflowers brings unexpected pleasures throughout the year. Sometimes subtle and sometimes extravagant, these random, uncultivated plants turn up in meadows, forests and mountain valleys, on riverbanks and roadsides, in parks and swamps.And although many are common, they greet us in a most uncommon range of shapes, sizes and colors.This enchanting collection displays the work of world-renowned photographers, with informative captions that touch on botany, plant culture and more. In Wildflowers 2009, every month is wildflower season.
