| Wildflowers of Texas - Author's Collection |
I use this valuable guide quite frequently. It's laid out in color-coded sections for an easier experience. I bought this book from a Hastings bookstore, back when Hastings was still a "thing."
"In her popular Wildflowers of Texas, native-plant expert Geyata Ajilvsgi gives lay readers the most comprehensive field guide currently available on the state’s abundant wildflowers.
This latest edition contains information on 482 of the most common species found in the state’s major vegetation zones. Each entry includes a full-color photograph of the flower on the page facing the entry, bloom period, range and habitat, and botanical description. A special note in each entry explains the plant’s therapeutic, culinary, and other traditional uses, such as landscaping value.
A color map of Texas shows the state’s major vegetation zones, corresponding to the range codes used in the text. Other supplementary material includes a glossary of botanical terms, an illustrated glossary of plant parts, and a selected bibliography for future reading.
About the Author: Geyata Ajilvsgi writes and photographs from her home in the Hill Country. Considered among the state’s top plant and butterfly experts, she is the author of Butterfly Gardening for Texas and many other books."
