Review Quotes

"Striking photographs of some of the most difficult-to-photograph plants there are!!! Image after image offered informative and beautiful portraits of many of our Northwest wetland plants. Trygve Steen provided the photographs and rightly deserves high praise for the technical perfection and beauty achieved in most of his 300+ photos. The book's convenient size and superb photography make it a valuable field reference." --Douglasia magazine
