Kentucky is situated at a unique biological and geographical crossroads in North America. As a result, citizens and visitors to the state are greeted by an astonishing variety of magnificent wildflowers. This nontechnical guide—featuring more than five hundred dazzling full-color photographs by award-winning photographer Thomas G. Barnes—is the indispensable guide to the most common species of wildflowers and ferns in the Commonwealth.
The first to appear in thirty years, this guide references more than six hundred fifty species of flowers. High quality photographs and illustrations accompany each plant's common and scientific name, plant family, habitat, frequency, and distribution throughout Kentucky. Organized by flowering season, color, and habitat, Wildflowers and Ferns of Kentucky is an essential addition to the library or field pack of the botanist and all nature enthusiasts.

Customer Reviews
Wildflowers and Ferns of Kentucky
this book meets my exact need in a field guide for this region. It provides excellent photos and essential ID facts. For a thorough knowledge base I have to do further research elsewhere, but this book is the gateway for seeing and knowing on site for these plants.
