I found this book immediately useful. It helped me identify several "mystery" flowers in my wooded yard. (I am a new resident of Michigan.) The flowers are arranged by color for quick ID. The text also explains whether it is a native wild flower, a naturalized plant from elsewhere, etc.Th3 book is compact (6x4 1/2 inches), so it is easy to carry along when walking in the woods. I wouldn't take a walk without it.

This is a great beginners field guide. I also keep it in my photo bag for a guide to get me started in the field, intending to go to the more advanced guides when I get home and can view the photos closely. I rarely find it necessary to go to that step with this guide in hand. The photos are the best of all my guides and the identification methods is so simple, and accurate, that my 14 year old nephew uses it with ease. I have come to prefer it above all my other guides-- about two dozen of them on my shelf.

I purchased this book as a quick way to identify wildflowers around our property. The book gives you a full page (pocket sized) of each flower, and is organized nicely by color, which is helpful. However, though most of the pictures are clear and focused on the flower itself, the leaves and stems in the picture are out of focus, making it impossible to use this book for a more concrete identification, unless you are already familiar with the flower (in which case you would not need the book).Before purchasing the book, I did not expect to use it to positively identify all flowers, but more for a few flowers that I had seen and did not know what they were and had not had luck using a search engine or other identification book ("tall red flower in the woods..." was getting me nowhere) This book is good starting point that shows the reader a good picture of the flower and name, which they can then use to research through other references if a more concrete identification is needed.All and all, a decent book, but lacks much for the serious wildflower identifier.

This is the best book ever on wild flowers. Its not quit pocket size but it does fit easily in a small pak. We love our Michigan vacations and are always wanting to know what plants are what, even poison. It is a field guide so pictures are limited but do show the picture of the flower clearly. It has also helped us grow native, nothing better then a Michigan garden.

I love this book! Admittedly, I'm an amateur with identifying wildflowers -- I know my basic dandelions, daisies, and lady slippers, but not much more. This book groups flowers into basic colors, with a little color code at the top of each page, from blue, green, yellow, white, red, purple, etc. For example, to identify your basic white flower -- turn to the pages marked with the color white at the top right hand corner. The flowers are then in order -- smallest to largest of the white flowers. Each left side of the page has a full-page photo of the flower. Each right page has a description of the flower, including family, height, flower & leaf, when it blooms, cycle/orgin, habitat, range, and "Stan's Notes" which add stories or tidbits, such as if a plant is popular for certain butterflies, or legends as to how the flower got its name. At the bottom of each page is a little box, with Flower Type (regular, tube, bell, etc), Cluster Type (round, flat, etc), Leaf Type (simple, simple lobed, compound, etc), Leaf Attachment (Alternate, Basal, Whorl, etc), Fruit (Pod, Berry, etc).Admittedly, this is not as thorough perhaps as Peterson's Field Guide to Wildflowers or Newcomb's Flower Guide -- but those don't have actual photographs, which Stan Tekiela's book does. I need actual photos, at this stage in my learning. I'm already happily identifying far more flowers, and even alternate names for them, than I'd ever known before. It's fun to be able to tell people, "Oh yes, that is a Wood Lily," instead of, "Oh yes, that is your basic orange flower."Yes, I love this little book -- small enough to tuck into a pocket as I head out for a walk in the woods.
