Each listing in Summer & Fall Wildflowers of New England includes a thorough text description of flower and leaves, as well as details about range, growth habits, and habitat. In addition to common names, the listings also include Latin names and families. The most prominent feature, however, is the more than 700 color illustrations by Marilyn Dwelley. Unlike photographs taken in the wild, her detailed colored-pencil renderings are not cluttered by surrounding flora and so allow for easy identification of species. The book's convenient size makes it perfect for use as a field guide, but the exquisite artwork and wonderful descriptions make it equally suitable for the bookshelf.
