Wildflowers of the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains

From Bloodroot to Goat's Rue, entries on the wildflowers found in Northern Virginia are presented alongside color photographs. Each entry provides information on the common and scientific names of flower and family, flowering period, and frequency. Descriptions of size, leaf character, flower color variations, similar species, medicinal and food values, and poisonous nature are included. The material is broadly organized by flower color to allow readers to figure out the flowers they are looking at as they come across them. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
