I took these photographs of wildflowers with various digital cameras‚ in the field. On occasion I used portable hand–fashioned reflectors or black backdrop. For identification and general information‚ my wife Aggie and I refer primarily to Wild Flowers of Ohio, Second Edition, by Robert L. Henn. Our expertise does not exceed that of interested amateur hobbyists. We highly recommend that anyone curious about Ohio wildflowers purchase Mr. Henn's book and take it with you into the field (or forest‚ as the case may be). Lake Katharine in the springtime would be a good place and season to start. We have also used other field guides including Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide by Lawrence Newcomb‚ Wildflowers in Color by Arthur Stupka‚ National Wildlife Federation’s Field Guide to Wildflowers of North America by David M. Brandenburg‚ and of course Google and Wikipedia. Fuller treatments may be found in Carol Gracie’s excellent Spring Wildflowers of the Northeast and The Secrets of Wildfowers by Jack Sanders.
