Mother Nature’s Cinderella story—flower-time in The desert—unfolds in this beautiful book. Captured by the magic of the color camera and described in lucid prose, 100 desert wildflowers are vividly portrayed here. Every color, from brilliant to delicate, is faithfully reproduced. This book will be a treasured photo album for those who have known the desert in bloom and a splendid introduction to the not yet initiated.

Dodge, author of Poisonous Dwellers of The Desert, Flowers of the Southwest Desert, and co-author of The American Southwest, as well as contributor to Arizona Highways, New Mexico Magazine, Sunset, and many other national and regional periodicals, has parlayed an encyclopedic knowledge of the Southwest and years of photographic experience into this truly magnificent book.
