Product Description
The photographer of this book explores a wide spectrum of native flora in bloom across California. Yet loss of habitat from development and competition from non-native species threaten the state's native plant life.

4.0 out of 5 stars An "Elegant Book of Calif Flora", great coffee table book., July 5, 1999
By A Customer
An "Elegant Book of California Flora" (as stated in the preface). The book has ~135 gorgeous plates of wildflower pictures, some closeup and some landscapes. The flowers are identified with both common names as well as scientific ones. Dates and locations are shown for each photo. This book is more a photographic study than a wildflower identification book.

5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous book, June 2, 2002
By kerry lattimore (bakersfield, ca United States) - See all my reviews
I bought 2 of these for gifts and 1 for myself. The drawings and photos in field guides are always too small. The pictures of flowers in this book leave no doubt about what your're looking at. Non-native (alien) species are identified. Even pine cones and insects are identified. The introduction about habitats, pollinators, soils, climate,etc. is well written. There is a discussion about cameras, lenses and film used. This is not a comprehnsive field guide, but it will help most amateur naturalists identify many common plants. I love this book and hope the authors continue their wonderful work. Last, but perhaps most importantly, this book is incredibly afforable.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Gardens in the wild!", March 31, 2000
By Paul Schilliger (near Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This is a book to cherish. Larry Ulrich's large format photography brings us into a world of beauty. From the grand views to the tiny details, everything is perfection. All flowers were taken in their setting and at their best. I have the 1994 edition. Printing is one of the sharpest I have seen and colors are sumptuous.
