5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for numbers of flowers!, July 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Wildflowers of the Southern Mountains (Paperback)

With 600 color photos and 1200 species described this is by far the most comprehensive book for identifying flowers of the region. It is a book for the serious who really want to name as many flowers as they can. It may be a bit too comprehensive for a beginner who just wants to find the common flowers because of the sheer quantity .

4.0 out of 5 stars Most comprehensive wildflower book for the Southern Mountain, June 10, 1999

This review is from: Wildflowers of the Southern Mountains (Paperback)

This is the most comprehensive and inclusive book I have been able to find about the Wildflowers of the Southern Appalachain. It is very helpful in identification but is a little lacking but only slightly in some other informative plant information. It has all of the basics and I love the book to be sure. Needs to add more asides about the plants...etc..what they might have been used for. It definately has been the most helpful book to have around to identify all the flowers. I would not be without it. By far my favorite.

This book is a true tour de force, as Smith draws from his 20,000 photographs and 20 years of experience in the botany of the southern mountains.
