Summary:  "The scope of this book encompasses the entire northeastern portion of the United States as well as adjacent Canada, in agreement with the most widely used flora for the area, the Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada, by Gleason and Cronquist (1991)"--Page xi of Preface. "This exquisitely illustrated volume provides an in-depth look at spring-blooming wildflowers of Northeast United States and adjacent Canada, from old favorites to lesser-known species. With more than 500 full-color photos, the book delves deep into the life histories, lore, and cultural uses of more than 35 plant species. Covers topics such as the naming of wildflowers; the reasons for taxonomic changes; pollination of flowers and dispersal of seeds; uses by First Nations peoples; related species in other parts of the world; herbivores, plant pathogens, and pests; medicinal uses; and wildflower references in history, literature, and literary and artistic references. Carol Gracie has worked for both The Nature Conservancy and The New York Botanical Garden"--Provided by publisher.
