This is a fantastic book for those that love the wildflowers of the Kansas Prairie. I have not found and easier guide to help me learn and ID Kansas wildflowers. However, if you are interested in the taxonomy and ID prior to or beyond the flowering stage, of those plants that interest you, this book may disappoint you. I would not fail to recommend it to like minded associates. Peace!

great book was exactly what it said it was worth the price and enjoyed by family so much I bought another one

I love this book. My kids and I use it quite often to identify plants in our yard or where ever we may be. It's easy to look stuff up. You can search by flower color which makes it really easy to use. The pictures are beautiful also.

I purchased this book since I am new to Kansas and have been photographing all the wonderful wildflowers that I see every day. This book will go with me when I travel around Kansas to be used as a reference guide. The pictures in the book are nice and clear and I find I refer to it numerous times while out on a photography excursion. I am also learning a lot about Kansas!

I am a Saint Louis MO resident, and purchased this book after visiting nearby Shaw Nature Reserve this fall. Portions of the reserve are dedicated to Midwestern prairie restoration, and I intend to return with this excellent book in the spring to attempt to gain a better understanding of our historic landscape. The photographs, mostly closeups of blooming plants, are crisp and definitive. I would have preferred a few additional contrasting photos of these same plants in the fall with distinctive seed heads and foliage to further aid in identification. I especially enjoyed the comments on native medicinal uses of the various grasses and wildflowers.
