Mississippi's vascular plant list tops 3100, owing in large part to the Magnolia State's moist, temperate climate and diversity of ecosystems, including tallgrass prairies, swamps, oak savannas, sandy beaches, and brackish marshes. Fittingly, the state tree/wildflower is the magnolia, which can be found in areas rich in sunlight. Plants exude much of a landscape's character, so many people look to flora to forge deeper connections with the land. This is challenging when there are so many plants to choose from, so it helps to have a starting point like a foundation of knowledge of common species. The portable and beautifully illustrated reference Mississippi Trees & Wildflowers is a great tool for cutting through the clutter and getting to know 140 representative trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. It also includes an ecoregion map showing over 20 botanical sanctuaries and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this portable, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the perfect companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists who wish to sharpen their plant identification skills and develop a richer understanding of their fascinating life histories. Made in the USA.
