This review is from: Volume 1: Plains & Foothills (Guide to Colorado Wildflowers) (Paperback)

While trying to identify some slides that I shot during June of some wildflowers in Colorado, I tried to use Peterson's Field Guide to Rocky Mountain Wildflowers. I had a very difficult time trying to identify anything. I picked up Guennel's guide (for both prairie and mountain) and within minutes I had EVERY wildflower slide identified. I'd like to see more information about each plant, such as when it indicates 'poisonous' for the plant, is it for the whole plant, root, petals, ??? But the ease in identification more than makes up for the lack of additional info. I definately recommend this book.

Colorado Wildflowers Volume 1 is an excellent field guide in which the flowers are arranged by their predominant color. This makes identification much easier. The photographs are very clear and along with the narrative provide an interesting tool to help learn about the flowers. The watercolors are skillfully rendered. I think that this is a beautiful book and recommend it to anyone interested in wildflowers.
