 Introducing New Field Guides for Wildflower Enthusiasts

Have you ever wanted to view wildflowers but didn't know where they were?

Did you ever want to see specific wildflowers but didn't know when they were blooming?

Three field guides can show you the locations and dates when wildflowers bloom at public locations in the Berkshires and in Western New England and Eastern New York.  Phyllis Pryzby hiked specific trails in these areas twice a month during the growing season of April through October to document and photograph wildflowers in bloom.  This information is presented in three newly published books-----

This guide expands wildflower coverage beyond the Berkshires for those in Vermont, New York, Connecticut, and areas east of the Berkshires who wish to view wildflowers in their area.  The book's format is similar to the one used in the Berkshire guides and includes flower descriptions, photographs, trail directions and facility information.  There is additional information on waterfalls in these areas which includes driving directions and photographs of the falls with information on waterfall photography.
