| No subject captures more attention from nature photographers
than the annual explosion of wildflowers. Spring, summer, or fall,
season after season, wildflowers decorate our natural world. Enjoy
the wonders of nature as you browse through this collection of Iowa
wildflower images.
Each of the images included in this collection has a special
significance to me. Countless pleasant memories have been created
in pursuit of wildflowers. Included with each flower is a paragraph
or two of thoughts and basic information unique to the plant featured.
I did not include "text book" facts; there are plenty of field guides available
for such information.
I have attempted to provide the common name and scientific
name of each flower. However, for many of the species of wildflowers,
several subspecies exist. A scientific name was not included if I
was unsure of the specific species. Feel free to e-mail me any species
information you may have or errors in my identification you may have noticed.
Special note for those viewers concerned with details
. . .
While photographing wildflowers, my attention is often
diverted by the appearance of fungus/mushrooms. Several varieties
of fungus have also been included in this collection. |
