Wildflowers of the United States

Welcome to USWildflowers.com. I hope you find the wildflower information and photos on this site useful in your quest to enjoy and identify wildflowers of the United States. There are 337 wildflower photographs on the 181 wildflower species detail pages, and additional photographs in the journal entries and photo albums. Please do not consider my identification as authoritative. I am not a professional botanist - I'm just a budding hobbyist - and there is a high likelihood that some identifications are incorrect.

Database listing with thumbnails and descriptions of
181 U.S. Wildflower species I've 'identified.' If you want to narrow the list to only those found in a specific state, see the State Reference List below.
- Wildflower thumbnail list:
Thumbnails without descriptions of those 181 U.S. Wildflower species I've 'identified.' I find this easier to scan for a particular flower than the listing above.

About the State Reference List:
The State Reference page include three things:
- A list of websites that may help in identifying wildflowers for the selected state. I've looked at each of the sites listed and they appear to be useful. I personally use some of the sites regularly for wildflower identification. If you know of a site that should be added to this list, send me an email at identification@uswildflowers.com - no promises of inclusion, but I will give it consideration.
- A thumbnail photograph for each color of species of wildflowers in the USWildflowers database that, according to the USDA Plants Database or my personal observation, are found in the selected state, even though the photograph is probably from Georgia or Tennessee. From there you can list all of the state's wildflowers that we have represented, or only those for a color range. Most photographs are by me, although some are contributed by others. The identification is by me, and while I have done my best to be accurate, I am not a professional botanist, and there is a high likelihood that some identifications are incorrect. Please let me know at identification@uswildflowers.com if you find errors.
- A list of some wildflower identification books available at Amazon.com that cover the selected state. I have noted the books that I own and use myself. In the other cases I have read the description and reviews of the book to determine if they seem appropriate. I get a very small referral fee if you purchase through these links. This website is certainly not a profit-making venture, so if you can help offset my costs by making your Amazon purchases through these links, that would be very much appreciated.
