An inveterate year-round rambler and journal keeper, he faithfully recorded, dated, and described his sightings of the floating water lily, the elusive wild azalea, and the late autumn foliage of the scarlet oak. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This inviting selection of Thoreau's best flower writings is arranged by day of the year and accompanied by Thoreau's philosophical speculations and his observations of the weather and of other plants and animals. They illuminate the author's spirituality, his belief in nature's correspondence with the human soul, and his sense that anticipation--of spring, of flowers yet to bloom--renews our connection with the earth and with immortality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThoreau's Wildflowers\u003c\/i\u003e features more than 200 of the black-and-white drawings originally created by Barry Moser for his first illustrated book, \u003ci\u003eFlowering Plants of Massachusetts\u003c\/i\u003e.
