An indefatigable researcher, wildflower lover and newspaper editor Jack Sanders has compiled an extraordinary collection of information about North American wildflowers. Learn here about the naming of plants, their medicinal uses, and what the great naturalists of the past said about them. The book is gorgeous and the text is alive with Sanders's wit and wisdom. I recommend the book most enthusiastically to floraphiles, botanists, and naturalists.
