Wildflowers of Oregon

From sea to sagebrush, this field guide covers the identification and natural history of over 400 wildflowers, shrubs and trees across Oregon. Beautiful color photographs and written descriptions help the wildflower enthusiast or mountain meadow day hiker identify many of the common plants of Oregon. For each plant, Fagan explains the derivation of the common and scientific names, along with interesting natural history tidbits about historical or cultural uses, pollinator ecology, edibility, and other details about the plants.
