Colorado Wild Flowers

About the author

Born in 1886, Rhoda N. Roberts is credited as the co-author of Colorado Wild Flowers, a Denver Museum of Natural History publication written with Harold DeWitt Roberts. The book presents photographs and accessible descriptions of Colorado plants, aiming to help readers identify common wildflowers in the field.

Project Gutenberg's record for the book lists her as "Rhoda N. Roberts, 1886-" and confirms her role as an author. Beyond that, reliable biographical details about her life are scarce in the sources I could confirm during this search.

Even so, her work stands out as part of a practical, reader-friendly tradition of nature writing: inviting people outdoors, helping them notice small details, and turning wildflower study into something welcoming rather than technical.
