5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Pictures!, May 4, 1999
This review is from: Mojave Desert Wildflowers (Paperback)
Although 1999 was not a big wildflower year for Southern California deserts, I enjoyed my opportunity to use this elegant book. Anyone who has spent time with the typical wildflower handbook knows that the flowers that you do not already know are usually in the black and white plate section and that you waste endless time flipping back and forth between the photographs in one section and the discussion in another. This book solves this problem by devoting an entire color page to each flower with a discussion aimed at enthusiastic amateurs directly beneath the photo. I applaud this easy to use and enjoy format and the beauty and readability of its contents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great handbook!, September 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mojave Desert Wildflowers (Paperback)
Jon Stewart has done a great job with this collection. The photography is excellent, with the flowers shown "in-situ", usually with foliage and the colors are rendered quite accurately, unlike the overrated Audubon books. We are photography hobbyists and really enjoy this handbook to help us identify our own "captures". We traipse the Anza Borrego desert and Joshua Tree NP and have only found a few we couldn't identify.
