The desert is anything but barren when its flowers open. Dodge introduces the plants of the Southwest deserts, from the giant saguaro to the night-blooming cereus, explaining where they grow and how they survive. A friendly, sensible guide with a light touch. Discover the surprising bloom of America's driest country.

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.
