Step outside with naturalist and artist Robin Lee Carlson to take a closer look at the colorful and fragrant flowers that blossom all around us.

With vibrant illustrations, Carlson transports readers into the world of flowers, inspiring budding naturalists to cultivate their curiosity and deepen their appreciation for the amazing variety of blooming plants. Using her inviting nature journal–inspired illustrations, she beckons readers to look more closely at the shapes, colors, and structures of flowers and how they affect pollination; begin to recognize the characteristics of different flower families; and consider the many habitats in which flowers grow. With simple observation prompts, colorful and curious explorations, and sidebars on how to draw flowers in the field, Flower Watching offers an accessible and joyful introduction to the botanical wonder of flowers.

Genre:

Robin Lee Carlson is a writer and natural science illustrator, building careful observations of the natural world into deeper commentary on ecology and climate change. Her work centers on field sketching ecoreportage, living documentation of the ever-accelerating transformation of ecosystems by human activity. Her first book, The Cold Canyon Fire Journals, was published in 2022 by Heyday, and her work has also appeared in The Common, the literary journal of Amherst College, and in Arnoldia, the magazine of the Harvard University Arboretum. She has taught workshops that combine drawing, painting, and natural science at the past four Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conferences, as well as up and down the Pacific Coast.
