A 16-month celebration of Midwest biodiversity, one color at a time.
Back for another year! This 16-month calendar features updated gradients of native Midwest species, hand-illustrated by mel bryant. Each month is rendered in its own unique color gradient — from soft spring greens and rosy pinks to rich autumn rusts — with every illustration carefully drawn to fit the palette.
16 months of illustrations showcasing the incredible diversity of Midwest flora and fauna: moths, butterflies, beetles, birds, wildflowers, fungi, lichens, frogs, mammals, river stones, and more
A unique gradient for every month, with dozens of species woven into each color story
All species native to the Midwest, from familiar favorites like coneflowers and Luna moths to hidden gems like orchids, lichens, and freshwater mussels
A QR code on the back linking to identification pages, so you can learn the common names and stories behind every species you spot each month
Size : 12” x 12”
Whether you're a seasoned naturalist, a native plant gardener, or simply someone who loves beautiful things, this calendar turns every month into a scavenger hunt. Can you find the spotted salamander? The morel? The beaver tucked into the autumn browns?
Enjoy, identify, and deepen your connection to the Midwest's wild places — all year long.
Preorders will ship early November
