Re: unknown plants / wildflowers

Hi All

I think Hobjob and Johnny Redgates posts say it all. In any subject, choice of reference books has a strong subjective element. I know I often do judge a book if not by its cover by but its "feel"!!!! I hate photographic plant guides for identification but then I love dichotomous keys (they really make you look and learn).

I would suggest read all the advice and then go to a good book shop and chose what you think you can live with.

CTW rules!!!

All the best
