It has been a pleasure to work with Dr. David Giblin, collections manager for the University of Washington Herbarium, in the production of the third edition of Alpine Flowers of Mount Rainier.
Thirteen species have been added bringing the total to 121 flowers commonly found above the timberline. New features include elevation zone designations, ecological notes, photo tips and suggested hikes and walks to view wildflowers. We hope that this new and improved guide will be even a greater resource for further appreciation of the splendor of Rainier’s flowers of the subalpine meadows and higher elevations.
Currently distribution of the guide is limited and it is recommended that purchases be made through the online store of the Washington Native Plant Society

Proceeds will benefit two great non-profits: The Burke Museum/UW Herbarium and the Washington Native Plant Society. We are most appreciative of user reactions after use in the field and receiving comments and suggestions for future improvements. Please direct them to donovan@flowersofrainier.com.
