"WILD ORCHIDS OF SOUTH CAROLINA"

by James Alexander Fowler

Soft Cover - Non-Fiction

 

James Fowler has trekked over South Carolina,

into the mountains, plains, marshes, and bogs,

to bring us this delightful book about wild orchids. 

He shows us that beautiful orchids

don't grow only in tropical rainforests, that they are

tough survivors in an American Landscape.

His photographs are gorgeous, and detailed

descriptions of each flower accompany the photos.

This is a must-own book for any wildflower enthusiast

that has ever seen a pink lady's slipper or a showy orchis,

or for someone who has not yet found a wild orchid.

This is a very comprehensive guide to native orchids in

South Carolina, which are frequently found in

other states and Canada as well.

 

Mr. Fowler has graciously agreed to appear

on CoveBear's upcoming documentary DVD

about wildflowers of the Southern Appalachians,

and we look forward to introducing you to him.

"WILDFLOWERS OF TENNESSEE, THE OHIO VALLEY,

& THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS"

The Official Field Guide of the Tennessee Native Plant Society

Compiled and Edited by Dennis Horn and Tavia Cathcart,

with Technical Editing by Thomas E. Hemmerly

Soft Cover - Non-Fiction

 

This is the most complete, comprehensive and

informative field guide

ever published on the flora of this region. Sponsored by the

Tennessee Native Plant Society,

this labor of love has been 14 years in the making.

The result is a landmark achievement that

brings the beauty and uniqueness of wildflowers to

amateurs and experts alike.

The focus is on Tennessee, but the Ohio Valley and

Southern Appalachians are covered,

encompassing all or parts of Alabama, Arkansas,

Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi,

Missouri, North and South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia,

and West Virginia. 800 color photographs, 96 line drawings,

3 full-color state and region maps.

 

We were so taken with this book, that we have invited

Dr. Hemmerly to appear on our upcoming

wildflower documentary to discuss wildflowers

and their habitats, and he has accepted.

Dr. Hemmerly is a professor of biology at

Middle Tennessee State University, and

is the author of another wonderful book,

"Appalachian Wildflowers."
