From Ash to Wintergreen, Bittersweet to Wappatoo, the common Bedstraw and the uncommon Camas, the edible Fiddlehead Fern and the ubiquitous Dandelion, E. J. Revell has painted beautiful watercolors of these and 62 other plants found in North America. Plant illustrations and accompanying botanical descriptions and quotations are arranged alphabetically, in keeping with the old herbal tradition of plant identification. Plants were chosen for their pictorial value, with the intention that each watercolor should evoke a habitat and associations which match those of the quotations accompanying it. The quotations that are included are from a variety of explorers and settlers, describing the plants and reflecting the practical, aesthetic, and botanic interests of the newcomers in different parts of the country.

When Martin Frobisher reached the coast of North America in 1576 'he commanded his company, if by any possible means they could get ashore, to bring him whatsoever thing they could first find, whether it were living or dead, stock or stone...and some brought flowers.'  "Talk about specialized books! This is a botanist's view of Canadian history, a survey of the exploration and settling of Canada in terms of the plants that the strangers from Europe encountered. Downie and Hamilton have collected hundreds of quotations in which Europeans from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries recorded their delight and astonishment at the variety of plants they discovered in the New World. Revell has made seventy drawings...in a fresh, easy, watercolour style. The result is original and delightful."  --Canadian Heritage  "I have been absolutely delighted by 'and some brought flowers'...The book is beautiful. E.J Revell's pictures are exquisite, a real joy. I like so much that you give the common names (many of which are like small pieces of poetry), and the selections from old diaries, explorers' notebooks etc. are fascinating. It is wonderful that the [publisher] has given the fine production job that it deserved."  --Margaret Laurence
