The first collection of Thoreau's writings on the flowering plants
of Concord, with more than 200 drawings by renowned artist Barry
Moser Some of Henry David Thoreau's most beautiful nature writing
was inspired by the flowering trees and plants of Concord. An
inveterate year-round rambler and journal keeper, he faithfully
recorded, dated, and described his sightings of the floating water
lily, the elusive wild azalea, and the late autumn foliage of the
scarlet oak. This inviting selection of Thoreau's best flower
writings is arranged by day of the year and accompanied by
Thoreau's philosophical speculations and his observations of the
weather and of other plants and animals. They illuminate the
author's spirituality, his belief in nature's correspondence with
the human soul, and his sense that anticipation-of spring, of
flowers yet to bloom-renews our connection with the earth and with
immortality. Thoreau's Wildflowers features more than 200 of the
black-and-white drawings originally created by Barry Moser for his
first illustrated book, Flowering Plants of Massachusetts. This
volume also presents "Thoreau as Botanist," an essay by Ray Angelo,
the leading authority on the flowering plants of Concord.
