Book of the Week #14

Wildflowers of the White Mountains: A Field Guide to New Hampshire's Wildflowers, from Valley to Summit by John Hession and Valerie Michaud. (Burlington, Vt.: Huntington Graphics, 2003)

If it is ever actually spring around here, this handy little book (about the size of a large index card) will help you to identify the more than 250 wildflowers you might find when visiting the White Mountains. The book is arranged by the color of the flower -- handy for on-the-spot identification -- and includes a little background info and identifying characteristics of each flower along with a beautiful color photograph. There is also an index, a glossary and some drawings to illustrate flower structures and leaf arrangements. The authors, John Hession and Valerie Michaud live in central New Hampshire.
