Many flowers are difficult to organize by color, but that's where beginners usually like to begin. Novices don't know many flowers by common name, Latin name, or family (me included, although I'm learning). Therefore, my guide is categorized by color.
Even with color coding, where do you look for a pinkish-purple flowerin pink or purple? What about flowers with more than one color? My answer was to include such flowers on all appropriate color pages.
The Wildflower Index consists of four columns:
Unidentified species have a sequential number within a color category, such as W03 (white section) or Pu01 (purple section). Gaps in the numbering indicate that some unidentified flowers havehallelujah!been identified.
The color page Green,Brown has various subcategories such as seeds, grasses, mushrooms, lichen, trees, and shrubs.
The quality (or lack thereof) of these photos must be balanced by the need for faster-loading pages for those on dial-up internet connections. Certain color categories have so many wildflower entries, though, that it would be far too time-consuming for dial-up. I have the originals of most of these photos, and if anyone wishes to see a better version of a particular photo, email me. I have received a surprising number of requests for some of these photos, and I'm happy to share them.
Almost all of the species on these pages were photographed in Park Sierra's 120 acres or Oak Creek's natural areas in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Coarsegold, California. Most of the photos are mine, but a few (marked by an asterisk) were taken by Chuck Epperly in the great 1999 season that began this project 15 years ago.
The best part of the hours spent on forming this
wildflower guide is meeting online folks
who are kind enough to contribute to and correct my identifications. In return, I hope I've
helped others. My skills are improving, but are far from perfect. If anyone can
lend
assistance in identifying mystery species, correcting errors, or suggesting
improvements, please contact me.

REFERENCE BOOKS
Some of these reference books are old, and the Latin names keep changing with
the times
and new discoveries. Often I find tremendous disagreement, but
I've tried my best to sort them out.
