Terri Young said Wildflowers of North America. I find the organization of this book to be poor. The fact that it is all drawings instead of photos makes identification difficult at times. As far as bang for your buck goes, this book does not have it. I would not recommend it as a primary source for field identification. But it is somewhat helpful.. Fred A. Proebstel said Very useful. Occasionally the descriptions and illustrations seem a bit difficult to leave me with the feeling of a positive identification, although they definitely get you close.. Four Stars I'll buy more books from this source.
