The Greater Yellowstone Region is a land accented by wildflowers―from diminutive orchids to plants that flower once every 60 years. Taken together, their forms, colors and habits are diverse and compelling. Included here are more than 400 wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees readily found in the region. Designed for easy use, this guide presents an overview of each species, complete with photos and illustrations, botanical descriptions, preferred habitats, and interesting tidbits on the plant’s ecology and cultural use (example at right). Species are organized by family and species, and a quick-reference guide in the front of the book presents flowers and distinctive fruits by color and shape. Whether you are hiking, camping, or just driving through, Flora of the Yellowstone will help you explore and enjoy the region’s flora. All proceeds from the sale of this book support the work of the Gallatin Valley Land Trust and other organizations working to conserve this remarkable landscape.
