Rocky Mountain Wildflowers Field Guide;

Rocky Mountain Wildflowers Field Guide is for all nature enthusiasts who want to learn more about wildflowers throughout Colorado and Wyoming's Rocky Mountain Region. The handy, pocket-sized 272-page softbound book fits easily into a shirt pocket or backpack. Information includes common, scientific and family names, a brief description, and each wildflower's habitat, life zone, and general flowering time. Wildflowers were photographed from Rocky Mountain National Park to the Mosquito Range, and from Crested Butte to the southern San Juan National Forest Region. In Wyoming, wildflowers were photographed in several areas of the central Rockies. Clear, detailed photos depict some of the most common as well as some uncommon wildflowers that one might find along trails, open meadows and roadsides. The 270-plus wildflowers in the guide are grouped with color-coded page edges indicating sections of white, yellow, red and blue/purple flowers to help in quickly locating an unknown wildflower. Included also are descriptions of the Colorado Rocky Mountain Life Zones, illustrations of leaf shapes and inflorescences, and an index of wildflowers by color. This guide is the perfect size for taking along on camping and hiking trips in the Rocky Mountains. The guide's rounded edges makes it easy to tuck in a pocket or pack. Research, identification, text and illustrations are by Linda Nagy with photographs and book design by her husband, multiple award winning author and photographer Bernie Nagy (check their author pages on Amazon.)
