Wildflowers of California

Authored by Sandra Namoff

From lupines to poppies and everything in between, California is home to more plant species than any other state. CNPS has just published Wildflowers of California, which showcases nearly one thousand of the Golden State’s most commonly encountered wildflowers.

This comprehensive field guide is perfect for anyone looking to learn about the diverse wildflowers that can be found throughout the state. Organized by flower color and family, illustrated with over two thousand photographs, and including a range map for each described flower, Wildflowers of California is as user-friendly as it is informative. Including native and non-native annuals, perennials, and shrubs, Wildflowers of California has it covered. Additional information on wildflower conservation helps make sure these flowers can be enjoyed by all for years to come.

As botanist and author Sandra Namoff, PhD., says, the book is “something beautiful that anyone can use, from hikers and naturalists to beginning wildflower lovers,” making it the must-have companion to exploring the many beautiful landscapes of California.
