Written by acclaimed nature author Jaret C. Daniels, this convenient guide showcases more than 150 species of wildflowers found in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
From coastal mangroves and bottomland hardwood swamps
to mixed-deciduous forests and high-elevation Appalachian balds, the southern and southeastern region of the United States boasts a tremendous diversity of wildflower communities.
The photos and short descriptions in this Quick Guide describe 155 wildflowers and cacti you’ll find across this large region, from common and familiar plants to particularly eye-catching and noteworthy specimens.
