A field guide to California’s accessible spring blooms

Focused on the foothills, valleys, and coast below the Sierra Nevada’s yellow pine belt, this revised guide organizes a broad introduction to the wildflowers most likely to be encountered during California’s spring season. More than 400 species are described with identification details and notes on locations where they can be seen. The book’s visual reference material—244 color photographs and 102 drawings—supports close comparison in the field, while its geographic scope keeps attention on readily reachable landscapes rather than the state’s full botanical range. It is structured as a practical companion for naming flowers encountered on walks, drives, and outdoor excursions in California and nearby areas.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • California hikers and outdoor excursioners wanting help identify spring wildflowers
  • Beginning and intermediate wildflower enthusiasts
  • Visitors exploring California foothills, valleys, and coastal landscapes
