Testimonials
“OMG...your book is a masterpiece. First I cried at the beauty of the flowers, then I felt kinship with the stories...especially Wendy Tokuda’s description of broom pulling. My sentiments exactly, only expressed better than I could hope to. This book belongs in every school, library, and home.”
Pat Williams
Retired Fire Captain

"This exquisite book celebrates California’s native wildflowers for what they are: works of art, honed over millennia, with the same right to exist as everything else.... In the end, it boils down to this: how diminished our world would be without flowering plants, and how foolish we all would be to allow even a single one to slip away. After all, when we save other species, we’re actually saving ourselves."
Joel Sartore
National Geographic photographer and founder of the Photo Ark
"I've read all of the essays and looked at every page with awe. Such an amazing tome. I'm carrying it around like a baby (a big baby) sharing it with friends and family. Thank you again for pursuing and completing this project."

"THANK YOU for the gift of your art. Antelope Valley (page 2-3) took my breath away. Lake County (page 4-5) brought tears to my eyes. I moaned out loud when I saw the Wrapped Iris. Just amazing. You have made the world a better place."
