This comprehensive work covers every species wild flower that you might encounter in Britain and Ireland, highlighting key features to allow identification with confidence.
Wild flower identification may seem extremely challenging to those not familiar with them, but this brilliant photographic guide changes that forever. Packed with superb photography throughout, including stunning portraits and close-ups of key features along with succinct, no-nonsense text, this book will help you to identify any wild flower that you may encounter in Britain and Ireland. This second edition has been revised, updated, and expanded to become a truly comprehensive work, covering all but the most extreme rarities in the British Isles. This book packs a true floral punch. The pages have been designed to ensure that the photographs are reproduced at a sensible size while retaining a readable text. Key features are highlighted in boxes throughout the book, while details of confusion species and look-alikes are given where relevant. Accurate and fully updated colour maps based on the national plant-mapping scheme are provided for each species. In its first edition, this guide set a new standard for photographic flower guides. This new edition expands on that work, and is an essential field reference for anyone interested in our wild flowers.Review Quotes
