Wonderful wildflower/plant book with historical anecdotes

This lovely book illustrates common flowers and herbs with anecdotes from pilgrim's diaries. The combination of historical perspective and herbal uses brings our heritage to life. The flowers and herbs are depicted with delicate line drawings. Highly recommended!
