    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide to Wildflowers
    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this book to help me identify the flowers I encountered both in my backyard and in a local state park. Happily, I can report that I was able to identify almost all of them that I came across (one Violet variant, the Confederate Violet, was not mentioned anywhere I could see in the book, but a North Carolina State wildflower website helped me identify it). The color photographs are top notch, many showing both a closeup of the flower, and the plant as a whole. Detailed information on each plant is also available, including the common flowering periods, a location range, dimensions of the flower as well as the entire plant, and much more. If you purchase this book, be sure to read this detailed information when identifying a flower; a number of variants are mentioned in the text that are not shown in the photographs. Overall, I am greatly pleased with this book (though it was the only one I could find that covered plants in the south-eastern part of the United States). Highly recommended!

    I have a few of these books; trees, birds, etc., so I knew this would be a good choice. The pictures are nice, and the reference tables can be especially helpful.

    It's also fairly compact and good for putting in a day pack.

    These are great book, the pictures are amazing! Unfortunately, the cover was all damaged, it was left not wrapped at all, but packed loosely at the bottom of the box of the other item, leaving it free to tumble around, and the plastic cover was all broken. I could. Ot send back because it was for a xmas gift, therefore had to give it the way it arrived.
