This
unique hard-back book contains color photographs of 374 common and rare
species of wildflowers found in and around the tri-state area of
northwest Georgia, northeast Alabama, and southern Tennessee. The text,
written in layman's terms and with flowers classified by color, is
designed to help the amateur or professional easily identify them. The
book intentionally goes outside the typical "wildflower" definition by
including shrubs, trees, and vines that are also wild, flowering, and
attract the attention of the enthusiast.
Common
and scientific names are given for each plant and an alphabetical index
of both are included, along with a glossary of scientific terms and a
pictorial glossary of leaf shapes and types and flower parts. The
photographs and text are the result of over 5 years of dedicated work
by the author.
