4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book for Identification of Native Wildflowers,
By "sciteach712" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wildflowers of Minnesota: Field Guide (Paperback)
This book has arranged the plants according to the color of their flowers, the most obvious characteristic. The book is sectioned into areas for all colors (white, yellow, blue, pink, red, etc.). If a plant flowers in more than one color, it is shown in each color area. The color photos show excellent examples of the plant. The only drawback to using this book would be if the plant is not flowering. Other plant characteristics are listed with the pictures, but it would be difficult to locate a specific species if the flower color was unknown.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for Beginners But Low on Detail,
By Willow Smith "Nature Girl" (St. Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wildflowers of Minnesota: Field Guide (Paperback)
This is a good book for beginners. Identification is based on flower color, which is easy to follow but sometimes ambiguous (e.g., what Tekiela considers pink, I might consider purple). I was able to quickly and easily learn many plant species using this book.Now that I know am pretty knowledgeable of Minnesota flora, I don't use this book as much. He doesn't have all the wildflowers of Minnesota, and additional details I would like to learn about each species are missing. I recommend this book to beginners. It is much easier to use and less intimidating than the average botany book. More advanced botanists will be better off with something more detailed.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource,
By Carmen Iris "book groupie" (Little Falls, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wildflowers of Minnesota: Field Guide (Paperback)
I am into wildflowers and in the process of converting my yard into native plants along with my organic produce and fruits. I use this book all the time, along with two others. I would rate all three as 5 stars but this one is my favorite.
