"North American Wild Flowers" is a book dedicated to the study of the various species of flowers found in Canada as well as the wider North American context. It is a sequel to the earlier novel 'Wild Flowers of Canada' that focused on species only found in the country. Author and flower lover Catherine P. Traill explains her reason for the book thus, "What a garland of loveliness has nature woven for man's admiration, and yet, comparatively speaking, how few appreciate the beauties thus lavishly bestowed upon them?...They show him the parental care of a beneficent God for the winged creatures of the air, and for the sustenance of the beasts of the field. They point to the better life, the resurrection from the darkness of the grave. They are emblems of man's beauty and of his frailty. They lend us by flowery paths from earth to heaven, where the flowers fade not away. Shall we then coldly disregard the flowers that our God has made so wondrously fair, to beautify the earth we live on?"
