Customer Reviews

Great content-bad package
The day I received this book I thumbed through it page by page and loved the photos and descriptions from the start. I was easily able to identify every wildflower I came across in our woods. Unfortunately, after the very first time I thumbed through the book the pages separated from the spine (it was easily repaired with crazy glue) but I was disappointed with the binding. I love the book enough that I would rather keep it than return it though.

Overall an excellent guide
The beautiful pictures, size, and easy to read text are wonderful! I've been able to identify plants that I had not been able to before with other guides because the pictures are so clear.

I have two disappointments with this book. First, the binding is not very good and the pages fall out easily which makes it a bit impractical for toting about in the field. Second, I would have liked to see the plants that are considered as an invasive species by the WI DNR clearly identified and marked. This is invaluable for people like me who are concerned with preserving our native plants and curtailing the invasives.

Otherwise, it's a great field guide.

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 carrying it in a pocket or pack very convenient, and the color coding makes finding a particular plant quick and easy.
