From early spring when there was still snow on the ground through to late fall, she sought out the plants that grow in the wild. From her collection of thousands of colour slides, Mary carefully selected her best images for this book. There are 179 images in all, of 98 different plants, arranged in order of flowering season, from spring to fall. Accompanying the photographs are brief notes prepared by biologist Marian Zinck, along with information to help identify each plant and suggestions for where to look for each variety.
