Summer Flowers of the High Alps
Somerville Hastings
The narcissus-flowered anemone, the golden globe flower, the deep blue monk's-hood, and the two-flowered violet bloom where the snow has just left. Somerville Hastings names the wildflowers of the high alpine meadows one by one. A lovely guide for the mountain walker and the flower lover. Climb above the treeline and meet the season's brief, brilliant bloom.
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.
