In this collection of flower portraits, landscape photographer Larry Ulrich and nature writer Susan Lamb share their favorites among the shy as well as the showy flora they have discovered in exploring Oregon, Washington, and western Idaho. Born of abundant moisture from the ocean and long hours of summer sunlight, the wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest region represent biodiversity in terms we can appreciate. Not only charming but useful, flowering plants play key roles in the green and growing world around us. |
