 Prairie Beauty
Wildflowers of the Canadian Prairies
by Neil L. Jennings
Prairie Beauty explores the wildflowers and flowering shrubs commonly found in the prairie environment of western Canada. Written for the enjoyment of all who venture outside and wish to identify the wild flowering plants they encounter, the book is directed at readers with little or no background in things botanical.
Neil L. Jennings is an ardent fly fisher, hiker and photographer who loves "getting down in the dirt" pursuing his keen interest in wildflowers. For 22 years he was a co-owner of Country Pleasures, a fly fishing retailer in Calgary. He fly fishes extensively, both in fresh and saltwater, and his angling pursuits usually lead him to wildflower investigations in a variety of venues. He has taught fly-fishing-related courses in Calgary for over 20 years, and his photographs and writings on the subject have appeared in a number of outdoor magazines.
Neil lives in Calgary with Linda, his wife of over 30 years. They spend a lot of time outdoors togetether chasing fish, flowers and, as often as possible, grandchildren.
