Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been enjoying this book tremendously. I enjoy studying wild flowers, for fun, and I also am trying to destroy invasive plants like mustard garlic, and this book is extremely helpful because it talks about how plants propagate. I also enjoy hearing the folk-lore of different plants; terrific book, fun to read, I highly recommend it.
I am still benefiting from this book; other books that I feel work well with this book is Weeds of the Northeast (Comstock books)and Grasses: An Identification Guide (Sponsored by the Roger Tory Peterson Institute)

Picking up where typical field guides leave off, this handy reference takes an ecological approach, providing complete descriptions of 85 plants found in fields, open meadows, and along roadsides -- from Ailanthus to Yucca -- as well as wildlife communities associated with them. Written in an engaging manner, this book helps readers identify dry-land plants, discusses what other organisms, plant and animal, might be found in the same area, and explains why.
