Читать книгу Washington Wildflower Hikes - Nathan Barnes - Страница 19

Washington State is home to thousands of different wildflowers and flowering plants, with some subspecies unique to a small area of the state. With such a broad range of plants to try and identify, serious flower-hounds often end up collecting multiple books and pamphlets on plant identification as they become more proficient at recognizing different species. For hikers just getting started, we’ve included this short flower identification guide curated from the more than 300 species we reference within these pages. We found and photographed each of the 120 flowers listed here on our treks down these trails, which makes it likely you will encounter them as well.

The wildflowers are organized by bloom color and then listed alphabetically to help you quickly narrow down your search. Featured wildflowers are indicated by a bright green box displaying the hike number; refer to that hike for more detailed information about and background on that flower. With regard to common names, some species are known locally by a variety of them; we chose common names based on their prevalence and our familiarity with them. You may know some of these wildflowers by other names. This guide will broaden your understanding and knowledge.
