In the beginning, God created
air, light, water, and dirt…

…and He created plants to transform these four simple ingredients into a riotous beauty of colors and shapes and smells…and a cornucopia of food and medicines.

Two of God’s children, LaShara Nieland and Willa Finley, have taken thousands of photographs of these magnificent creations, and selected the most gorgeous and fascinating wildflower images to share with you, along with intriguing information about each one.

Their book, Lone Star Wildflowers: A Guide to Texas Flowering Plants, published by Texas Tech University Press, brings the science, history, beauty, and many common (and uncommon) uses and properties of Texas’ abundant wildflowers to you in a user-friendly, easy-to-learn style.

Sneak a preview of the book through the sample pages, and try your hand at the quiz games on the Floral Fun and Games link (that’s for those competitive personalities!). The Floral Games include photos and fun facts from the book.

Shop for greeting cards that feature some of the lovely flowers in the book. These make great gifts for friends and family, as well as yourself! And remember to add a bookmark or two for other books on your reading list.

Visit the book signing link to see when one is scheduled in your area, or contact the authors to schedule one near you.

In Resources, you’ll find other artists and photographers, and business people who facilitate artists, whose work we admire and appreciate. We hope you will, too!

The aim and final end of all music—and flowers—should be
none other than the glory of God and the
refreshment of the soul.
—J.S. Bach
