Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the primary reasons that Bryan and Sharon love the mountains is the diversity of plant life that abounds within the southern Appalachians. Spring flowers and photography were made for each other and this collection has been a work in progress for the last five years. While over 250 species with some 600 common names are identified within this book there are so many more yet to be found. It is not all-inclusive by any means but will assist you in identifying the most commonly found species in the park area.Bryan and Sharon are neither biologists nor botanists, but are like so many who will be reading this book - nature lovers who have tried their best to match flowers with descriptions. This book is not a scientific journal but is intended to help you locate and identify more flowering plants than you even knew existed. Flowers are organized by color and blooms that look similar to one another. We've discovered that if you just get out of your car and start looking along the roadsides that they will come alive to you with flowers you so quickly passed by while driving. So take a hike, explore the woods and back roads and see how many more flowering plants you can find.
