5.0 out of 5 stars Southern California Flora, August 5, 2000

Christopher K. Garrod "Double Clicker" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Flowering Plants: The Santa Monica Mountains, Coastal and Chaparral Regions of Southern California (Paperback)

I have found this to be the most useful wildflower book for coastal southern California. It serves me well from Ensenada, in Baja California to Nojoqui Falls, in Santa Barbara county.

This book has been my field guide, and notebook/palimpsest since 1995.

Other books I have, but don't rate 5 stars: Peterson's Pacific States Wildflowers; Coffeen's Central Coast Wildflowers; Audubon's Field Guide to North American Wildflowers -- Western Region.

4.0 out of 5 stars A visual delight, December 8, 2011

Alexander Walker - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flowering Plants: The Santa Monica Mountains, Coastal and Chaparral Regions of Southern California (Paperback)

This book was a pleasant surprise--very tastefully done and appealing. The photos are helpful. I can't help wondering, though, why she didn't include my favorite wildfower, Whiteplume Wirelettuce, which you'll occasionally find near a pond or in evergreens in the Santa Monicas, almost always alone.
