I seeeeeeeeeeee It has linked the snapdragon to the common toadflax (similar shape I suppose) - which is on the same page as the dark mullein! I have this book albeit the larger big A4 version - someone bought it for my birthday about 2 years ago. I would personally recommend a dedicated flower guide still though.

Ok i think i will Johnny ive been looking at the Collins one on Amazon is that one ok

The flower guide for people who want to do more than just generally learn a few plants is Francis Rose wildflower key. As the name states full of keys and fantastic detail with beautiful illustrations etc

Paul Sterry's Collins guide to British wildflowers is also pretty good (got me started) - but doesn't have the in-depth keys. It does have real photography in it though.

If you can get a copy of Blamey fitter, fitter guide to wildflowers of Britain and Ireland (now out of print) you won't be disappointed either.
