Wildflowers of Oregon’s Cascades Range is a quick and easy to use, light-weight, durable, all-weather field guide to 99 carefully selected native flowers.
Some shrubs and small trees are included, along with herbs. Each is illustrated with a gorgeous photo of the flower, and identified with the help of just a few easy-to-understand key characteristics.
The range includes Crater Lake National Park, the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, and all the mountains south to California. Many of the same flowers are also common in the Coast Ranges and even the intervening valleys.
