The most extensive guide to identifying the flowering plants in California's richly diverse Sierra Nevada mountains.
This photographic guide to the wildflowers of the Sierra Nevada has been over twenty-five years in the making, drawing together spectacular images by Stephen Sharnoff, the photographer of the acclaimed Lichens of North America, and informative text by botanist Joanna Clines, who has decades of field experience and is a top authority on the region's flowers. Comprehensive and deeply researched, it will help users identify 1,000 flowers found in California's iconic mountain range, from our celebrated manzanitas and lovely lupines to tiny California popcorn flowers. The book's detail will satisfy die-hard plant experts, while helpfully annotated photographs--pointing to fruits, anatomical features, and color variations--will guide beginners to botanizing.
The geographic range stretches from the western foothills through the alpine zone, and down to about 6,000 feet on the eastern slope; and from Lake Almanor in the north to the Tehachapi Mountains.
