Step into the beauty of nature with Flowers of Mountain and Plain by Edith S. Clements, a stunning guide to the wildflowers of the American West.
A Vintage Botanical Treasure
Flowers of Mountain and Plain by Edith S. Clements is a beautifully illustrated wildflower guide that captures the essence of the American mountains and plains. This vintage hardcover book contains detailed descriptions of various wildflowers, including their general information, location, and scientific names.
What makes this book truly special is the inclusion of hand-colored illustrations on each page, meticulously crafted by Clements herself.
The twenty-five color plates showcase 175 of the most beautiful flowers found in the Rockies and beyond, providing a timeless reference for wildflower identification or an elegant display for your bookshelf.
Edith S. Clements was a pioneer in botanical ecology and the first woman to receive a Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska. She was also an esteemed botanist and talented botanical artist who illustrated her own books and joint publications with her husband, Frederic Clements.
This vintage botanical guide is more than just a flower identification book—it’s a piece of botanical history. With Clements' pioneering work in botanical ecology and her stunning hand-colored illustrations, this book is an invaluable addition for collectors, nature lovers, and vintage book enthusiasts.
