An acclaimed, beautifully illustrated introduction to
spring-blooming wildflowers of the northeastern United States and
Canada This exquisitely illustrated volume provides an accessible,
in-depth introduction to spring-blooming wildflowers of the
northeastern United States and Canada. Featuring more than 500
detailed color photos and a large, beautifully designed format, the
book delves into the life histories of more than thirty-five
wildflowers and their relatives, from common favorites, such as
bloodroot and Jack-in-the-pulpit, to interesting, lesser-known
species, including miterwort and featherfoil. Drawing on a wealth
of personal experience and the latest scientific research, and
presenting it all in terms anyone can understand, acclaimed
naturalist and photographer Carol Gracie invites readers to enhance
their appreciation of the beauty of these wildflowers by learning
not just their names or how many petals they have, but what
pollinates them, how their seeds are dispersed, how they interact
with other plants and animals, how Native Americans and other
people have used them, and other interesting facts. Each species is
illustrated with a range of detailed color photos that not only
capture its beauty but illustrate the features discussed in the
text and show the plant in its environment alongside the
pollinators, herbivores, or seed dispersers with which, in many
cases, the wildflower has evolved. Other topics covered include the
naming of wildflowers; pathogens and pests; related species in
other parts of the world; and wildflowers in history, literature,
and art. Presenting authoritative information in an inviting style,
Spring Wildflowers of the Northeast is an ideal volume for
wildflower lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, naturalists, students, and
more. Showcases the most spectacular spring-blooming wildflowers of
the northeastern United States and Canada Features more than 500
