Minnesota’s state flower Elegant Lady’s Slipper is perhaps the North Star State’s most iconic plant species, yet there are over 2,100 more to learn about and discover. Located at the intersections of four major ecoregions—aspen parkland, prairie grassland, deciduous forest, and coniferous forest—Minnesota has a wide array of plant communities. The challenge is knowing where to start your exploration. To establish a solid foundation of floral knowledge, it helps to have a portable reference like Minnesota Trees & Wildflowers to cut through the clutter and get acquainted with the most familiar species. This beautifully illustrated collection features 140 common trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 botanical sanctuaries and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a great tool for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists who wish to sharpen their plant identification skills and learn more about plants’ fascinating life histories.
