This title explores the botany, ecology, and rich lore of Texas
wildflowers, in easy-to-locate color groupings. Each spring
throughout the celebrated hill country and well beyond, locals and
visitors revel in the palettes and variety of Texas wildflowers.
From the Panhandle canyonlands to the islands of South Texas, from
the eastern Pineywoods to the farthest reaches of the arid
Trans-Pecos, some 5,000 species dot Texas' 268,820 square miles.
Now ""Lone Star Wildflowers"" offers easy identification through
color grouping and a wealth of insight from the origin of
scientific and common names to growth cycles, uses, history, and
native lore. Nieland and Finley have made countless forays with
camera and notebook and have broadened their approach through years
of research. In language accessible to every enthusiast, they offer
wildflower lovers unparalleled enrichment. In the field, by the
roadside, or in the classroom, ""Lone Star Wildflowers"" reveals
the science, ecology, and rich lore of Texas flowers with these
helpful features: nearly 500 full-color flower photographs, grouped
according to the color spectrum and further arranged by family; an
'Exploring Further' section in each color category, showing details
of seedpods, leaves, buds, and fruits; current and historical uses
of each flower, including applications for landscaping, water
conservation, traditional medicine, pharmaceuticals, and food;
information about plant toxins and range management practices
affecting livestock and wildlife; and, coverage of growth cycles
throughout the seasons, depicting young plants, buds, mature seed
heads, and fruits as well as flowers.
