Abstract

This book introduces a wide variety of photos of flowers and weeds that you can see on the roadside, in your garden, or on a short hike. Illustrations are used to explain things that are difficult to understand from photos, such as the characteristics of flowers and how to distinguish them from similar flowers. There is also a photo index showing the order in which flowers bloom by color so that you can quickly find out what flower it is. This pocket-sized book conforms to the APG Classification System IV and can be carried around with you on your walks!
