Chasing Wildflowers: A Mad Search for Wild Gardens
What can possess a man to drive across state lines, mountain ranges, and international borders with little more than a ragged guide book, an old map, and a wild look in his eyes? Wild women? No, wild... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Another great title by this same author is Yard Full of Sun: The Story of a Gardener's Obsession That Got a Little Out of Hand. Just as entertaining as Chasing Wildflowers!Yard Full of Sun: The Story of a Gardener's Obsession That Got a Little Out of Hand
Unique, unusual, and superbly written

In "Chasing Wildflowers: A Mad Search For Wild Gardens", author and horticulture enthusiast Scott Calhoun celebrates the beauty of wildflowers in natural settings that range from Utah, Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico, to Arizona, California, and Sonora, Mexico. Profusely illustrated throughout with 69 color photographs, "Chasing Wildflowers" is part travelogue and part nature study, all presented with the author heading each chapter with the date of that particular trip, its destination, the total trip time, the vehicle use, the round-trip distance from his home-base of Tucson, his traveling companion, and even the music enjoyed along the way. Unique, unusual, and superbly written, "Chasing Wildflowers" is highly entertaining, informative, and recommended for personal and community library collections -- and the next best thing to traveling to these various destinations in person!

I haven't laughed so much in a long time...perhaps I am easily amused. I also have been to all the places Calhoun writes about and it's great to know there are other people enjoying the plants as much as I. I would love to show this guy some of my favorite plant places and see his take. A lovely (and funny) book.
