The companion to Wildflowers of Calgary and Southern Alberta, this handy field guide enables beginner to intermediate naturalists to identify more than 100 of the characteristic and most-common flowering plants from Jasper to Lloydminster, Fort McMurray to Red Deer. This region of aspen parkland, boreal forest and pockets of grassland supports a rich variety of native plants, many of which coexist beautifully with human habitation in the heart of Edmonton.
