About the Author
As a teenager, PAUL G. MAHLBERG's decision to become a botanist was stimulated by summers at Door County's Kangaroo Lake. Now retired from the biology faculty at Indiana University in Bloomington, he continues to do research on secretion by plant cells.
Artist MARILYN WAITE MAHLBERG is an active member of the Bloomington Area Arts Council and the Peninsula Arts School in Door County. Since retirement she has devoted her efforts to oil painting and to ecological activities, with a particular interest in the preservation of ecologically important areas of Door County.
Their love of Door County inspired the Mahlbergs to locate and write about (Paul) and portray in ink and watercolor (Marilyn) the approximately 375 wildflowers included in this field guide. They live in Bloomington, Indiana, during the academic year, and in Door County, Wisconsin, in the summer.
