Covering the vast region from Alaska to California and east to the Great Plains, this well-produced, compact guidebook contains color plates depicting more than 650 wildflower species grouped by flower color to suit the needs of inexperienced enthusiasts. The plates are keyed to texts that offer physical descriptions of the flowers and their leaves and, where applicable, fruit, along with notes on habitat and range and, often, further notes on the flower's name (e.g., "The common name, Clammyweed, refers to the sticky, moist glands on the surface of this plant"). Expertly written and photographed, this guide is just the book to have on hand when traversing western wildflower country. --Gregory McNamee

National Audubon Society Guide to North American Wildflowers: Western Region - Revised Edition.......2007-08-08

This book is excellent. It's photos of flowers and leaves are close up and clear. The introduction is filled with information on flower and leaf parts with diagrams. The information, description, and where each flower can be found is very detailed.

Great for general curiosity.......2007-07-05

This book is great for those who like to know what they're looking at when they're out on a hike away from home. Since it covers the entire western U.S., it won't have every single flower you come across, but it can often help you get at least to the right family. I have a book that covers every single plant that I could come across right around where I live, but when I go more than a couple hours from home, this is a fun book to have. Great pictures, and great info on each plant in the back.

National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers: Western Region - Revised Edition (National Audubon Society F.......2007-06-27

As in all the National Audubon Society Field Guides the book is great. National Audubon Society Field Guides are my favorite of all the guide books. The color photos are clear and close up for easy identification of the plant. Descriptions are in-depth for information and assistance in identification. I highly recommend this book.

Awesome!!.......2007-01-04

The illustrations are fabulous. I have seen many wildflower books where all the pictures are in black and white. This book has actual photos of the flowers as well as detailed descriptions to help you learn. I recommend this book!

As good as it shall be.......2007-10-09

As true virgin prairies are certinly rare, so rare that it takes an extrodinary effort to find one, I have been blessed. Previous to buying this book,I,on a whim decided to visit Hayden Prairie, in Iowa, listed in this book, some of the photos may have been from there. I visited and took pics with my new camera with the macro and ring flash(my book is coming)but didn't know what the photos were of. This book will straighten you out on the ID section of flowers. I was disappointed on the lack of leaf differentiation-palmate vs pinnate in the leaf ID. I have found flowers in the undergrowth that were not covered in this book. Things like this cannot be restored. Stand on a hill at Hayden Prairie, look around, and try not to be depressed, as the vista used to be as dynamic and intricate as what you are standing on.

Tallgrass Prairie Wildflowers 2.......2007-10-05

This is an excellent field guide. Great photos to help with identification. I would purchase it again without hesitation!

great book!.......2007-01-12

This book is full of wonderful information and great pictures. It has helped me identify many plants and weeds. I especially love the section on weeds that seems absent from many other books.

Explore a New World.......2006-11-06

I am a birder but always wanted to ID the trees that the birds were perched in. I first took this book out in the field to the Arboretums in San Francisco and Berkeley. I found the book easy to use for IDing native trees. I also took this book with me on a trip to the eastern Sierras and trees that I have previously looked at as "pines" turned into Lodgepole, Mountain Hemlock, Whitebark, Red and White Fir, and Jerrery Pine. It really opened up a new world for me. And naming nature is one way to understanding the wonderfully diverse tree species of the west.

Four noteworthy authors of Christian romance fiction join together to recreate life-and love-on the Oregon Trail. Each author takes a leg of the journey and intertwines their story with the characters and events of the other stories while developing a new romance plot.

Follow Penny into Oregon and see if she will become the newest Bride in the Valley.

A Great Mix of Romance and Mystery!.......2005-03-09

"Wildflower Brides", was actually 4 books in one. I enjoyed all four stories. I enjoyed the plot, as I have a soft spot for history and pioneer life. For I was once a member of an Old Order Amish sect. The book had just the perfect mixture of romance and mystery. I also recommend "The StoreKeeper's Daughter", by Wanda Brunstetter.

Four interesting interwoven tales.......2003-07-11

As the caravan heads for Oregon, members become like extended family and these four talented authors have used this setting to weave their narratives into one intriguing whole. The characters are fresh and believable. Their problems ring with authenticity and each narrative blends into the next with quiet style. I enjoyed "Wildflower Brides" from the first story to the last. If you like mystery and intrigue mixed with romance you will enjoy book.

Four novellas featuring the same wagon train --.......2003-05-22

This book contains four separate stories about people on a wagon train heading for Oregon. The style of each author is different, but each includes characters from the other stories. This gives the total book some continuity. However, the shortness of each story was frustrating to me and would have rated higher if expounded upon and made into four complete books. Although the last story was my favorite, there was a bit too much drama and all four short stories were much too predictable. More suspense would have proved interesting and would raise my stars ratings.

Extremely helpful.......2002-07-25

While trying to identify some slides that I shot during June of some wildflowers in Colorado, I tried to use Peterson's Field Guide to Rocky Mountain Wildflowers. I had a very difficult time trying to identify anything. I picked up Guennel's guide (for both prairie and mountain) and within minutes I had EVERY wildflower slide identified. I'd like to see more information about each plant, such as when it indicates 'poisonous' for the plant, is it for the whole plant, root, petals, ??? But the ease in identification more than makes up for the lack of additional info. I definately recommend this book.

Excellent - just like it's companion book.......2000-03-13

See review for Guide to Colorado Wildflowers: Mountains for this review. Same author and same style applies to this one. Excellent resource with ease of use.

Nice guide, grouping by color helpful for identification. Could use more detailed anatomical descriptions and photos are a bit small.

They are essential for accurate identification. This is used as a text book, so you know that is very detailed, but it is also very useful to anyone with an interest in trees. I highly recommend it!
