Best resource for local flower identification
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I am a Texas wildflower fanatic! I've identified and collected over 100 flower specimens just in Mills County and this book was very helpful. You don't have to flip through dozens of photos of flowers in the Piney Woods or Coastal Plains since the book only shows flowers in our specific geographic area. I highly recommend it. It's worth the search.
Excellent guide for the area

I love this book -- it's an excellent handbook for identifying the wildflowers in the San Antonio/Central Texas area. Whenever I'm photographing wildflowers, this guide is part of my kit.

This is a must have field identification book for the Austin and Hill Country area. Although it is out of print, and the auther is not interested in a reprint at this time, some books are available in the Austin area and at online booksellers yet. This is a great book for new and experienced wildflower enthusiasts, with great photos and id information, Latin family names, and other interesting features for a wide variety of people who enjoy wildflowers.
A feast for the eyes and readable text.

Excellent photography is a real treat; the fine details of each plant are a real help in identification. The text is well-organized and nicely written. The book answers many of my I.D. questions about many S. TX herbaceous plants which have all but disappeared. Wildscapers and nature lovers will find this book to be "user-wonderful."
