This handsome guide features plants found within the premier wilderness areas of northwest California's Klamath Mountains, one of the most biodiverse temperate mountain ranges in the world. Organized by flower colour, it covers 505 species, subspecies, and varieties of wildflowers. With localized, detailed species descriptions and destinations to find flowers throughout the year.
The Klamath Mountains are a fascinating and botanically diverse area situated at the crossroads of the Coast Range, Modoc Plateau, Sacramento Valley, Cascade Range, and the Sierra Nevada. The Klamath Mountains hold representative species from each. Combine that with their attendant geology, topography, and climate, and the floristic diversity is second to none for a temperate region.
