Alberta Wayside Wildflowers
Alberta Wayside Wildflowers Cover This beautifully-photographed book will help you easily identify 112 species of common native and naturalized wildflowers found in Alberta meadows or along the province's roadsides and trails. The wildflowers are organized into five main sections according to flower type: two-sided flowers, tiny stalkless flowers in compact heads, tiny stalked flowers in branched clusters, circular flowers with distinct petals, and circular flowers with fused petals. Each account includes interesting notes on edibility and medicinal uses, names and ecology of each plant, blooming times, habitats where the plants are found and guidelines to let you know whether the flowers can be picked. Over 225 vivid colour photographs show whole plant and flower detail. You'll also find an illustrated key and glossary, as well as tips for easy identification.
