New updated and expanded Rocky Mountain Wildflowers Field Guide is for all nature enthusiasts who want to learn more about wildflowers throughout Colorado's Rocky Mountain Region. Now in its third edition, this handy pocket-sized 272-page softbound book, 4" x 6", fits easily into a pocket or backpack. Information includes common, scientific and family names, a brief description, and each wildflower's habitat, life zone, and general flowering time. Line drawings of flower parts and arrangements and leaf shapes and arrangements help clarify terms in the guide. Wildflowers were photographed from Rocky Mountain National Park to the Mosquito Range, and from Crested Butte to the southern San Juan National Forest Region. Clear, detailed photos depict some of the most common as well as some uncommon wildflowers that one might find along trails, open meadows and roadsides. The 285-plus wildflowers in the guide are grouped with color-coded page edges indicating sections of white, yellow, red and blue/purple flowers to help in quickly locating an unknown wildflower. Research, identification, text and illustrations are by Linda Nagy with photographs and book design by her husband, Bernie Nagy.
