Plan California Wildflower Outings by Season and Region

Organized around the practical question of what is blooming when and where, this statewide field guide combines identification help with trip-planning detail. Its month-by-month sections chart the flowering season across California, while more than 300 sites are grouped into ten geographical regions. Sixty-seven featured destinations receive expanded driving and walking directions, difficulty information, bloom periods, and lists of prominent flowers. More than 650 color photographs support coverage of 600 species, arranged by flower and accompanied by natural-history notes and guidance on the places and months in which they bloom. The format makes room for both browsing a particular flower and planning an outing around a location or calendar date.
