A pictorial field guide to wildflowers, organized by season of bloom, for the Upper Great Lakes Regions, Eastern Canada and Northeastern USA. A comprehensive guide with over 340 species of native and naturalized plants, it is illustrated with more than 620 full color photos showing flowers, stems and leaves, fruits and habitat to better aid in identification. Sections on grasses and sedges, vines, flowering woody plants and ferns (plants without flowers) are included. Each species is described and identified by common and scientific names. Short guides to the naming of plants and how to use the book get the reader off to a fast start to use it efficiently. A section describing plant families along with indexes of common and scientific names and a bibliography round out the book. The Smyth-sewn binding and laminated cover give it durability.
