Frances Theodora Parsons and Marion Satterlee
When the blood-root opens its white petals, spring has truly arrived.

A beloved, practical field companion that launched countless flower hunts. For anyone who wants to greet each wild bloom by name. Take it into the fields this spring.
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.
