The greater Yellowstone Region is a land accented by wildflowers—from diminutive orchids to plants that flower once every 60 years. Taken together, their forms, colors, and habits are diverse and compelling. Designed for easy use, Flora of the Yellowstone presents a clear overview of each species, complete with photos and illustrations, botanical description, preferred habitats, and interesting tidbits on the plant’s ecology and cultural use. Species are organized by family, and a quick-reference guide in the front displays flowers and distinctive fruits by color.
