Product Description

This is an innovative and remarkably user-friendly guide to the identification of the flowers of Britain and northwestern Europe. By organising the species by their colour group first (and by family within that colour group), this guide enables those less familiar with flower taxonomy to quickly and easily find what they are looking for - a great improvement on the often-frustrating business of trawling through a conventionally-organised guide. The lovely artwork by acclaimed illustrator Marjorie Blamey, with a neat, focused and simple text, makes this book a joy to use.

Easy guide to wild flowers
We have looked at several guides to wild flowers and we find that to search by colour is a much quicker way to identify the particular flower you are looking for. This book has proved very useful to us and we bought another copy as a Christmas present for our friends.
