great book!
This book is full of wonderful information and great pictures. It has helped me identify many plants and weeds. I especially love the section on weeds that seems absent from many other books.

Wildflowers Of Tennessee, The Ohio Valley and the Southern Appalachians8 reviews
Lone Pine Publishing, 2005
Hands-down Favorite Smoky Mtns/TN Wildflower ID Book
I've been cataloging thousands of wildflower photos over the past six years and probably own or have "borrowed" most wildflower field ID guides that are out there. This book is easily my favorite. Why?
Easy to use: A color key w/thumbnail images for more than half of the flowers in the book makes finding the right flower much easier if you do not know which family of flowers to search in. ...

Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest (Timber Press Field Guide)10 reviews
Mark Turner, Phyllis Gustafson
Timber Press, Incorporated, 2006
One of the best wildflower guides out there
Mark Turner's books has become my bible for wildflower hunting in the Pacific Northwest. Not only is it jam-packed with most species, his photos are great and he offers great details for each plant. I have just about every wildflower book published for flowers throughout this region and Turner's is by far the best and first one I grab when heading out the door in search of flowers.

Little Gem of a Book
This is simply a wonderful addition to any library. I was looking for a native wildflower handbook with a little extra, but this surpassed my expectations. You don't need to be a botanist or a naturalist to enjoy this offering. It has tidbits of fascinating information about native U.S. wildflowers, from its history to medicinal uses to mythological lore. The layout is nice and there are many ...

It helps!
This is an excellent reference book whether you are a serious plant-hound, or just someone out for a walk, wondering about "the pretty flowers". It has a great deal of information, sometimes almost too much for the casual observer, but the photos are great, making indentification very simple in most cases, and the facts on origins of many of the flowers are fascinating. Its small size makes ...

Newcomb's Wildflower Guide39 reviews
Lawrence Newcomb
Little, Brown and Company, 1989
RI Master Gardener Advanced Education
As the RI Master Gardener Advanced Education Coordinator, I have used this book for two years in workshops delivered to our membership. The "Locator Key" and identification system is easy to use (easier than using the weed identification systems) and the drawings and descriptions are clear. Would recommend to anyone interested in identifying wildflowers or "weeds."

Carl G. Hunter
Ozark Society Foundation, 2000
A valuable resource
This is a valuable resource for the naturalist as well as the wildflower enthusiast which describes 600 wildflowers found in Arkansas. Color photographs are provided for 484 flowers. Plants are arranged by family; this may seem awkward at first, but the book is well indexed. A glossary, state map showing regions, and diagrams of plant parts are other helpful tools provided in the book. This ...

So far, this book has all of them....
Wildflower season is once more upon us here in Texas Hill Country and this book has so far identified every flower I've found in a year. The pictures are great and the book is holding up after heavy use and abuse. I highly recommend it.

A Field Guide to Wildflowers : Northeastern and North-Central North America (Peterson Field Guides)11 reviews
Margaret McKenny
Houghton Mifflin, 1998
indispensable!
I have used Petersons books for decades, and continue to update to new
issues while cherishing my issue from the 1970's. Anyone seeking to
comprehensively identify wildflowers from color plate photographs alone
is not only missing the point of field work, but may miss the flower as
well- colors look different in different light and in different photo- op's.
There are many other features ...

Peterson First Guides: Wildflowers
This publication personally helped me become more familiar with the wildflowers. It includes specs and descriptions of 188 wildflowers. To start off the illustrations in this field guide are very realistic. The addition of color helps the reader to identify the flowers and plants as they are in the wild. I personally found it difficult when using other field guides to identify the differences ...

For each flower, he provides the scientific and common names, a brief description, flowering time, habitats, geographical range, color photo, and miscellaneous ...

Some Wildflower in My Heart35 reviews
Jamie Langston Turner
Bethany House Publishers, 2006
The best book i've read in ages - and i read a lot of books!
Where do I begin? I admit, when i started the book, i really had a hard time and almost put it down. It took about 10 pages in and I was hooked. This book is a very moving and tender story of a woman made bitter by tragedies in her life and who is shown love later in life by a very unlikely source who transforms her spiritually and helps her find God. It is a Christian novel but not your ...
