California's hillsides blaze each spring with flowers most people cannot name. Mary Elizabeth Parsons fixes that, describing the state's wildflowers by their names, haunts, and habits with an artist's illustrations alongside. Friendly and precise, it turned a generation of Californians into flower-watchers. Take it up a spring trail and finally know what you are seeing.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
