Field Guide

Releasing today, just in time for the upcoming spring season, is the new edition to the Adventure Publication’s popular flower identification guide – Wildflowers of Texas, 2nd edition.

This field guide is organized by color and size, dramatically speeding up your ability to identify every Texas flower you come across. To help make identification even quicker, the 200 most common wildflowers in Texas – and only Texas – are collected, so you don’t have to waste time sifting through flowers from other parts of the country.

This 432-page book by Nora Bowers, Rick Bowers, and Stan Tekiela features beautiful, full-color, full-page photos. Every entry also includes fact-filled information lists highlighting particular flower features to aid you in identifying flowers. Each flower entry also has icons pointing out specific identification points to help speed up your ability to identify Texas flowers. The book’s design uses a color-based chapter organization that set this field guide apart from the competition. Inside you’ll see the book organized by the colors:
Blue, Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, and Yellow. The book also includes a super handy Checklist, Index, and Glossary.

This new edition includes updated photographs, expanded information, naturalist notes, and even more of the authors’ expert insights.
