Annotated Flora of the Santa Catalina Mountains by James Verrier / $35

290 pages / color photographs / topo maps / 40 pages of flower photos.
The Santa Catalina Mountains are located just northeast of the Tucson Basin and are known for their diversity of plant life. James Verrier spent 10 years methodically exploring the Catalinas in order to produce this flora. The introduction provides an overview of the study area as well as information on collection history, plant diversity, geology, and assessments of rare and invasive plants. Color photographs are included throughout the flora. In addition to the annotated vascular plant checklist, the author provides a checklist of non-vascular plants.

Thirty-Seven Years on a Mountain Trail by C. David Bertelsen / $27

247 pages / color photographs / graphs of flowering data, all taxa!
This special issue of Desert Plants features a flora and phenology study of the Finger Rock Canyon in Pima County, Arizona. The author hiked Finger Rock trail 1,627 times between 1981 and 2017 and covered a distance of 16,518 miles. During his hikes he recorded not only flowering times and numerous other observations about vegetation, but also observations of vertebrates he encountered along the way. His work is remarkable because of the span of time it covers, the number of species recorded, and the elvation range covered.

Did you know that milkweed is essential for the survival of monarch caterpillars? Monarchs rely on milkweed as the only food source for their caterpillars, making this plant a critical part of their life cycle.

Milkweed not only provides nourishment for these iconic pollinators but also offers protection. Monarch caterpillars ingest toxic compounds from milkweed, which make them less palatable to predators—a clever natural defense!

Sadly, habitat loss has reduced the availability of milkweed, threatening monarch populations. Planting native milkweed in gardens and green spaces helps create safe habitats for monarchs to lay their eggs and ensures caterpillars have the food they need to grow and eventually transform into butterflies.

Interested in supporting these beautiful pollinators? Consider planting milkweed in your yard and helping preserve their migration journey for future generations.
