One of the bounties of the Pacific Northwest is the succession of gorgeous wildflowers that line the simplest of mountain walks or hikes. This little book has enriched my experience of these hikes by providing a compact, effective way to name what I am looking at and learn a little about it. Distinctions between seemingly similar plants focus clearly, and I find myself in even more awe of the beauty around me.This book is beautifully produced with clear photographs, good information, solid binding, and rounded dog-ear-proof corners. If you spend time in the mountains, treat yourself!
I bought "Wildflowers of Mount Rainier" about two months ago because I will spend a week there in early August, mostly taking photos of the scenery and wildflowers. I have read through and studied the book so many times that I have almost memorized the many entries. The book is arranged by ecological zones, according to elevation and natural environments. It starts with the lower "forest zone" and goes to the "subalpine zone" and the "alpine zone." A trail is described for each of the zones. The lower two zones are further divided according to wetness and soil types. The book begins with a "Pictorial Index to Flowers" organized by color and petal number. Beautiful photos are provided for each of the 134 flowers on full pages along with very detailed information on each plant, typical locations in the park and geographic distribution. This must-have book is easily used as a field guide with a sturdy waterproof cover and curved outer corners.
