Turner is one of the finest nature photographers in the
country. His images have appeared on the covers and in the pages of Garden
Design, Sunset, American Gardener, Horticulture, Organic Gardening, Birds
and Blooms as well as in numerous garden books. He also co-authored Wildflowers
of the Pacific Northwest, an American
Horticultural Society Book Award winner. Mark also
When Mark showed me the Washington
Wildflowers app I was completely overwhelmed by the stunning quality of the
images and the depth of information! University
of Washington Herbarium at the Burke Museum provided the cultural information and
database. High Country Apps provided the software
and of course, Mark supplied the images. Whether you are a novice plant lover
or have a Ph.D. in Plant Science this user friendly app has something for you. The
Washington
Wildflowers app costs just $7.99 and a portion of revenues
go back to University of Washington Herbarium to fund conservation and botanical exploration
in the region.
It contains 850 (!) common wildflowers, shrubs,
and vines that occur in Washington and adjacent areas of British Columbia,
Idaho, and Oregon. The majority of species included are native, but introduced
species common to the region are covered as well in order to expand the
usefulness of this resource. Once downloaded and installed, the app does not
need an Internet or cell phone connection to run so, you can use it no matter
how remote your wanderings take you. Mark, an avid outdoorsman himself, now
takes the app on hikes instead of his books.
