With more than 90 close-up, brilliant photos grouped by color, this guide is your key to understanding when and where flowers bloom, which are native to southern New York State, and which you may want to add to your own garden for a non-stop, season-long riot of color.
Loaded with wildflowers that thrive in city parks, on saltwater beaches, in urban and suburban gardens, in forests and pine barrens, and in fertile wetlands, this guide becomes your go-to reference. Text about each flower provides a list of characteristics—from petal arrangement to height—to help you tell one flower from another.
This laminated, double-sided, six-panel guide turns every nature walk or Sunday bike ride into an exciting learning experience.
