"This is a follow-up volume to Gracie's Spring Wildflowers of the Northeast. This new book treats 35 species of summer blooming wildflower some common, others less so concentrating on each species life history and, in the same manner as the earlier book, providing intriguing insights into the biology, ecology, folklore, and, where relevant, ethno-botany of each flower.
