Carol Sanderson was first enthralled by wildflowers when she was quite young. Later, at age 45, she began daily walks along country roads. It was then that she was bitten by the wildflower "bug" and was thrilled see new plants in bloom every week-from spring to fall. While researching the book, she met a scientist who had retired after a brilliant career in entomology. They fell in love, were married, and began researching the wildflowers of Pennsylvania.
