Summary: Best I've seen
Review: Excellent guide -- good photographs organized by color and blossom shape, cross-referenced to detailed classification and habitat information. By far the easiest classification guide I've used (and I've tried many).

Summary: Excellent
Review: I had to collect wildflowers during the summer for an Honors Biology class. The field guides we were given were ones with drawings instead of photographs. It was very hard to correctly identify the wildflower with only a drawing. This field guide is excellent. You identify the flowers with color photographs, and the book gives a fairly in-depth description on the flower, habitat, range, and other comments about the flower. I would recommend this guide to anyone who has to identify wildflowers for school, or just enjoys identifying for pleasure.

Summary: Excellent Guide, Easy to Use
Review: I have another wildflower guide which I tried using and was very frustrated with their drawings and color plates. I bought this guide out of desperation---and am completely satisfied. Its simple and easy to use. The flowers are easier to identify with color photography, complete with close up caption. Descriptions are listed later. Not everything is jumbled together, so that your'e fumbling out there around through so many pages. So easy to use. The flowers are more generalized than specific---you won't find 50 examples of a violet--but you'll find several at best. It depends on how detailed you want to get. Quick, ready to use guide that fits perfectly in your husbands fishing vest or in a backpack. Go for it!

Summary: I love this guide!
Review: I refer to this book all of the time. Even when I don't have it with me, I find it very easy to identify a species using the vivid color pictures contained in the guide. I have two other Audubon guides, and I plan on adding more.

Summary: Great exercise
Review: My husband bought this book in 1980 after his heart attack. He used it to go into the preserve across the street. He would get exercise as well as an education.

Summary: not as good as petersons guide to wild flowers
Review: not quite as good or easy to use as petersons guide to wildflowers. Check out petersons first. Then come here and look for this one. Even better books exist in places local to where you're looking at plants.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Petersons and Newcombs are excellent for identification, however this guide is good to have along in the day pack on a hike through the mountains. It provides interesting tidbits of information about the plants. It is just enough to wet your appetite for more wildflower folklore. Plus it is a great tool for identification. I just used it to identify wetland plants and it was a great resource. Also you can't beat the color photographs. I recommend it for first time users.
