Really helpful book
Rating:
I really enjoyed using the book. I have a lot of wildflowers in my yard and see a great deal in the spring here in my area. The pictures were very useful in helping me identify different plants. I had no trouble carrying the book with me in identifying flowers; some of them are similar and the book pointed this out and how to identify specific differences to aid in naming the plant. I also enjoyed the anecdotal information, especially about how some of the plants have edible parts and some of the plants are highly poisonous.
Nice Book But Not Very Helpful
Rating:
This is a nice book of wildflowers. It contains only drawings, no photos, but, at least, they are all in color. The drawings won't help much in identifying flowers unless you happen to be standing right beside it and even then the vast majority of the pictures aren't detailed enough to be really sure about anything. The information on range of the different flowers isn't usually very specific. However, there is a nice touch of general information or lore about many of the plants. I got my copy used and cheap so it's OK - I wouldn't have been too happy about paying full price for it, though.
