Synopsis

A practical, pocket-sized, and beginner-friendly wildflower guide for the Badger State.

Wisconsin is a wonderland of wildflowers! How so? Because it consists of a diverse "mash-up" of north woods and wetlands plants with those of the tall grass prairie and the profusely rich, verdant hardwood forests. Timber Press's In Bloom series are portable and accessible-to-everyone guides to the most prominent wildflowers you are likely to see in a given region. Whether it be colorful, showy plants, or the bizarre and deadly, these and more are presented here in this easy-to-use field guide that features text and photographs of some of Wisconsin's more common and interesting wildflowers.
