“[The Wild Orchids of California] is a useful and important book about a wonderful group of wild flowers. Highly recommended.”
—Wildlife Activist
This profusely illustrated field guide covers the 31 species of orchids that grow wild in California. This first book published on the subject is an impressive extension of Ronald A. Coleman’s wide fieldwork and research. Written in a clear narrative style, the book describes the plants and their flowers, habitats, distribution, pollinators, and blooming season. 129 full-color photographs close close-up details of the flowers, as well as the leaves, seed capsules, and habitats. Orchid hunters will appreciate the distribution maps and localized summary tables. In addition, Coleman includes keys to the genera and species, and discusses the relative rarity of the different flowers and the threats to their continued existence in the wild.
