A guide to finding the native orchid species found in the fields and forests of the Canadian Maritimes and shorelines of the Northern Great Lakes. This work illustrates each species and variety, with photographs, a diagnostic line drawing and a distribution map, as well as a description of the habitat, range, and flowering time.
"A comprehensive and long-overdue look at one of the continent's outstanding orchid floras." - Brian Cassie, author, National Audubon Society Field Guide to New England "Too many of us only think of orchids as tropical and subtropical plants. Brown's guide is a must for anyone with an interest in orchids or the flora of this region. For those not interested in orchids, be warned that this book will go a long way toward developing an interest (some say an addiction) in these fascinating plants." - David Campbell, professional photographer"
