The book I grab first when trying to name a flower!
A large inventory of the flowers that you will see most often in the garden. The pictures are excellent for locating that particular flower when all you have to go on, is a flower you plucked by hand. (So often NO ONE knows the name.) That is when I reach for my very worn copy of Stirling MacOboy's, What Flower is That? I have over 40 flower search books, and still...

WHAT FLOWER IS THAT?
THE CONTENTS OF THE BOOK IS GREAT. BUT IT WAS NOT THE BOOK I ORDERED. THIS BOOK I GOT FROM SUPERBSTUFF WAS DIRTY, SMELLY, AND HAD THE PAGES STUCK TOGETHER BY FOOD OR SOMETHING. THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS ARE DIRTY. IT MUST HAVE BEEN PACKED AWAY FOR MANY YEARS IN A DAMP AND DIRTY PLACE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH IT AND I WILL BE SENDING IT BACK.

This review is from: Know Your Garden: What Flower Is That? (Hardcover)
A large inventory of the flowers that you will see most often in the garden. The pictures are excellent for locating that particular flower when all you have to go on, is a flower you plucked by hand. (So often NO ONE knows the name.) That is when I reach for my very worn copy of Stirling MacOboy's, What Flower is That? I have over 40 flower search books, and still this book seems to be my favorite. It is easy to use and has Botanical names and pronunciation. All-in-all, a must have in the home library. Sorry to see it is no longer in print. Will make it a very valuable book.

This review is from: What Flower is That? (Hardcover)
Noted gardening expert Stirling Macoboy has provided yet another must-have for the enthusiast, whether amateur or professional. Largely limited to temperate climate flowers, this vast reference book is alphabetized, with prononciation guides. Each of the entries includes botanical and popular names, best soil conditions, varieties, propagation, water and fertilizer requirements, and suitability for a home garden, along with photographs helpful in identification. The index includes alternative names for the featured plants, and with 6000 entries, most people will be able to locate the desired plant by a familiar name. A number of these flowers also appear in tropical gardens, and are referenced in Ornamental Plants & Flowers of Tropical Mexico.
