AUDUBON WILDFLOWERS CALENDAR 2013 Read Free Books and Download eBooks
They bloom in mountain meadows, woodlands, prairies, even the driest deserts—wildflowers are vibrant but ephemeral beauties, embellishing landscapes with strokes of color before disappearing for another year. With a dozen photographs that capture wildflowers in their native environments, this calendar is a tribute to North America's loveliest blooms. Beds of Dune Evening Primrose spread over a sandy California desert. Yellow Arnica and pink Monkeyflower grow unrestrained in a mountain field. And ethereal purple Pasqueflowers herald spring in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It's pure artistry by nature's hand.

The Audubon Wildflower calendars are typically always nicely done and feature an excellent variety of color and lighting across many different landscapes.The information that accompanies the pictures isn't however always accurate. An example in the 2013 calendar is the April 2013 description associated with the picture of "Slickrock Paintbrush" from Arches National Park. The picture claims to be of Castilleja chromosa but rather it is Castilleja scabrida var. scabrida (which, less importantly, has the common name of Eastwood's paintbrush). The discussion then becomes further misleading and the map incorrect since Castilleja scabrida has a much smaller range than does Castilleja chromosa. It is true that both species occur in the vicinity where the pictures were taken and are often confused with one another, but that makes this kind of error even worse given that it comes from a trusted source, i.e. Audubon.I would still generally recommend these calendars to plant admirers despite the inaccuracies.P.S. Scientific names should be italicized but that facility appears to be unavailable when commenting here.
The National Audubon Society puts out a great calendar and they even add a bonus of an on-line page a day calendar. The quality of the photos and of the paper is first rate. I also bought another calendar (not from them) and the paper is incredibly flimsy, so much so that I wouldn't risk writing on it as the pen will probably puncture the paper. It definitely pays to go with an outfit like NAS.
I bought this for a friend. She loves a garden and looking at this will feel like being in the garden. Each month is a beautiful scene. I love calendars that picture places where we would like to be when life is full or overly busy.It is a great calendar for a good price.
The Audubon Society always provides the highest quality in photography, and this year's calendar is no exception. Beautiful images of the flowers are coupled with information about the range over North America in which they grow.
I am not a flower person, that is why I gave it four stars only.However, it does brighten a dull room.It is hung in my computer room, and it does enhance the room.Definitely get this wildflowers calendar if you are a flower person.Also get it to improve a dull room.By the way, it includes US and UK holidays, and phases of the moon.
This is a nice wall calendar for those who loves flowers. The dates have enough space to write some reminders. I keep it in the kitchen and I like to look at the flowers and check the dates while I'm doing the dishes.
I appreciate the thematic consistency of each month's photographs. Species are seasonally appropriate, and calendar notes moon phases and major holidays.An improvement opportunity would to include the dates of previous or subsequent months in the "white space", but with a lower-contrast font color. Sierra Club used to do this, and it came in handy.
2013 calendar is really beautiful and brightens my office substantially! This is the 3rd year I've ordered the Wildflowers calendar and I think it will continue to be a custom.
