My husband and I moved to the country,living on 5acres surrounded by woods.We have all kinds of beautiful wildflowers growing here.A guild to wildflowers in s.c.has helped us to identify alot of these flowers.what a wonderful book to have around.Its just full of helpful information on these plants.

As a flower gardener new to the South I was looking for more information to help me make smart plant choices for the climate. I learned about this book in a native plant seminar and it is a wonderful reference as it teaches not only about the plants but the native communities where they florish in nature. This is helpful as I attempt to be conscious of my water usage and to do my "green" duty as a homeowner and gardener.

I took a class this summer and one of the Text we used was the Guide to Wildflowers of South Carolina. This book is very informative and gives many different topics for each plant listed. Later I met Dr. Porcher and he really knows his stuff.

As a naturalist guide in the "Low Country" of South Carolina I have found this book and invaluable resource. I use it not only for plant identification but greatly benefit from the anecdotal description of each plant, its use, and at times its importance to South Carolina culture and history. Buy it, read it, inwardly digest it.

Well written. I especially like the habitat by habitat treatment. Sure, many of the plants are found in more than one of the habitats included, but the general notion of habitat is helpful.

Most of the photographs are excellent, and the print quality is above average.

This book was purchased for office and field use. It arrived timely and is a very good reference book.

Great book with nice information. I would rather have the images throughout the book right with the information, but that's just a personal preference. Images are good. Would recommend.
