Summary

Dotting the countryside with brilliant color and shape, wildflowers add beauty to any habitat, from the deepest woods to the edge of the sea. Knowing the names of each one you pass adds to the pleasure, and there's no quicker way to identify blooms than with this easy-to-use guide. First, turn to the colored band on the edge of each page to find flowers of that same shade. Then, go by the number of petals, or select trees and shrubs. Each flower appears in a striking color photo. 5 1/4 X 10. All in Color , 700 Color Illustrations
