[Anne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book differs from a lot of other plant identification books in that it details them in order of colour. That may sound a bit odd, and not suit knowledgeable botanists, but for the novice trying to identify a wild flower with no previous knowledge it's a really useful book.

There are plenty of good photographs and illustrations with enough botanical text to work out what's what.

It's also small enough to carry around with you when you go for a walk and it's helped me identify plants countless times.

Een mooi overzichtelijk boek. Met mooie foto's, tekeningen en duidelijk uitleg.

Zelfs met the huidige identificatie apps and internet zoekmethodes ter beschikking, is het nog wel eens is leuk om een plantje op te zoeken in een ouderwetse veldgids.
