Naturalist and photographer Thomas G. Barnes, with botanists Deborah White and Marc Evans, documents 220 of Kentucky’s rare and endangered wildflowers in full-color photographs, organized by habitat: old-growth forests, prairies, wetlands, and roadsides.
Beyond the images, the authors explain how development and land-use change have pushed 255 plant species toward endangered or threatened status, and lay out concrete conservation steps for gardeners, botanists, and policymakers alike.
