5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book, if limited in scope. Mar 24 2012
By CanadianMother TOP 100 REVIEWER
This is a beautiful field guide to Ontario wildflowers. The quality of the photographs is excellent, and it gives more information on each wildflower than other guides do - for example, it tells us how the plant was used medicinally by natives, and other interesting tidbits. It would be a great book for those who are interested in identifying a few flowers that grow wild in their neighbourhood.

However, with only 101 wildflowers in the book, obviously its scope is limited. Many times I have looked in this book for a flower I saw and was not able to find it. If you are really a serious student of wildflowers, I would encourage you to buy The ROM Field Guide to Wildflowers of Ontario, which has 550 different flowers listed, even if it isn't as pretty a book as this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely an asset in the wild Aug 3 2009
By Suhail Zubaid AHMAD TOP 500 REVIEWER

The illustrations, description, and photographs in this field guide are so good that no wildflower will get missed from identification if you carry it in the wild. We had it during our recent trips to Bruce Peninsula National Park, Fathom Five National Marine Park, and some other conservation parks and let me say it in simple terms - it is a great asset for identifying wildflowers. The whole layout is great, starting from illustrations showing flower types and then moving on the description and details of each individual wildflower. Two shots, one taken of flowers growing in wild in bunches and the second showing flower at a close range, help identify the flowers with ease. The author and her family has done a wonderful job and it is naturalists like my family who will be in total admiration.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really Bad Field Guide Jun 21 2012
By C. Anatolios
The reason it's bad: scantily detailed watercolour drawings instead of photos, hardly ever any detail of leaves or flowers. How can you properly identify a plant from that?
