Summer & Fall Wildflowers of New England
Author/Illustrator: Marilyn Dwelley
Marilyn Dwelley’s Summer and Fall Wildflowers of New England is a unique and indispensable guide. Each listing includes a thorough text description of flower and leaves, as well as details about range, growth habits, and habitat. In addition to common names, the listings also include Latin names and families.
The most prominent feature, however, is the more than 700 elegant color illustrations by Marilyn Dwelley. Unlike photographs taken in the wild, her detailed colored-pencil renderings are not cluttered by surrounding flora and so allow for easy identification of species. The book’s convenient size makes it perfect for use as a field guide, but the exquisite artwork and wonderful descriptions make it equally suitable for the bookshelf.
Author Biography: MARILYN DWELLEY is an artist and educator, as well as an avid gardener, naturalist, and author. She is a frequent leader of nature trips and originally created her guidebooks to fill the need for simple, accurate guides. She lives in China, Maine.
