2008-05-16 Easy-to-use book

I am a complete dullard when it comes to any kind of plant and tree identification.

Often identification is not helped by the context in which the photogrpah is taken: sometimes times against a background of other unrelated foliage and often without any sense of scale.

I recently picked up my mother's copy of this book in order to identify a plant (greater burdock) that I had seen in a friend's garden. I was so impressed that I was positively able to identify it from this book that I have now ordered my own copy together with a Tree book by the same author.

I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in wild flowers.
