Wildflowers are among nature's loveliest offerings, and this book
showcases the native flowering plants that are on display all
throughout Georgia. For eight years, Hugh and Carol Nourse traveled
the state, from the Coastal Plain to the Blue Ridge mountains and
all points in between, finding and photographing wildflowers in
their own habitats and in their best blooming seasons. The 86
vividly detailed photographs presented in this large-format volume
capture the diversity and splendor of these sometimes elusive
plants, many of which are endangered by human activities.
Each photo is accompanied by a concise caption that provides
common and scientific names, place and season photographed, and
information on whether the plant is a Georgia protected plant.
Armchair naturalists will not have to leave the comfort of their
homes to appreciate this photographic collection of many of the
state's wildflowers, but readers inspired to undertake their own
search for these beauties will find suggestions for hiking trails
and other sites to view wildflowers. Anyone who loves Georgia will
treasure this book, and wildflower lovers everywhere will
appreciate this beautiful depiction of the state's botanical
diversity.
