Margaret Armstrong, a prolific book cover designer and illustrator,
spent a few years travelling around the western United States at
the beginning of the twentieth century and in 1911 she was one of
the first women to descend to the floor of the Grand Canyon. There
she discovered some new flower species and began writing and
illustrating the exquisite and thorough "Field Book of Western Wild
Flowers."
This was the first comprehensive handbook to supply detailed
information about the plethora of flowers growing in the western
United States and includes detailed information on seventy-five
plant families, like water-plantain, lilly, buttercup, poppy,
mustard, hydrangea, plum, rose, cactus, wintergreen, figwort, and
valerian families, and many others.
Armstrong includes information on key characteristics of each
species, including height, leaf and petal features, colors, where
each flower can most likely be found, ideal conditions they
flourish in, and much more.
