Peter Lesica has worked as a botanist for 40 years, primarily in Montana but including almost two dozen springtime trips to Southern Utah. He and Shannon Kimball are authors of Wildflowers of Glacier National Park and Trees and Shrubs of Glacier National Park, also published by Trillium Press.
Here is a small book that will make a fine travel companion when you visit Southeast Utah in the Spring surely one of the real privileges that come from living here. It is targeted to readers who have a mid level interest in botany, and who want to broaden their knowledge rather than just learn a few more plant names. --Sego Lily, Newsletter of Utah Native Plant Society
