Have you wondered about the plants you see every day? They all have histories and ecological relations. This small book tells stories of 15 conspicuous plants of northern Colorado, the Front Range from Denver northward, going well beyond that plant identification books have space to include. Learn that the stiff sharp leaves of small soapweed protect its edible flowers That it is too far west for the common milkweed but that the monarch butterflies stop by anyway That common mullein, from Europe, was in fact used as the torches its tall flowering stalks resemble And much more. It is lavishly illustrated with photographs. Each chapter includes a place for notes, to add your observations to your enjoyment of these wildflowers.
