They bloom in mountain meadows, woodlands, prairies, even the driest deserts—wildflowers are vibrant but ephemeral beauties, embellishing landscapes with strokes of color before disappearing for another year. With a dozen photographs that capture wildflowers in their native environments, this calendar is a tribute to North America"s loveliest blooms. Beds of Dune Evening Primrose spread over a sandy California desert. Yellow Arnica and pink Monkeyflower grow unrestrained in a mountain field. And ethereal purple Pasqueflowers herald spring in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It"s pure artistry by nature"s hand.
