About

"Everything about it is superbly done, from the brilliantly written descriptive text, to the beautiful photographs, it is a marvelous achievement. The text reads like a well edited textbook or novel, with enough historical and botanical facts to impress even the most curious plantsmen, and professional taxonomists."

~ Dr. John Kartesz, Director, Biota of North America Program

"Gene: I just received a note indicating that your fantastic book on milkweeds has been published. Your book is unique and will stand alone as a source of information on milkweeds. The inclusion of historical references together with other details and a dive into the science associated with milkweeds gives the reader a bit of everything.  Your species accounts draw attention to the magnificent diversity, adaptive range and beauty of this group. Thank you for introducing all of us to many rare, beautiful and little known species scattered across the more remote areas in the US."

~ Chip Taylor, Founding Director of Monarch Watch

"Your dedication and perseverance to detail led to a manuscript that will be savored by the milkweed community enthusiasts at many levels."

~ Gail Morris, Southwest Monarch Study Coordinator

"Rich in detail."
