5.0 out of 5 stars My go-to for the Southwest

This is an excellent guide with accurate illustrations that I prefer for the southwest over and above the local guides I have bought. It needs updating but is still terrific. I am especially happy with the cactus section which is just as detailed as many specialized books. Just be aware that botanical names are often no longer correct.

For decades I've tried to use the old Eastern Flowers Guide which is great as long as you live on the East coast but when you move inland (like Oklahoma)...well...My old guide was shot and needed updating so I went online and was surprised to see this book out! WOW! Now the rest of the U.S. needs good guides as well.

It could have had more pictures but is otherwise excellent. The plant diagrams are very helpful. Colored pictures are very helpful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that helpful.

I did not realize when I bought this book that there were no photographs of flowers and that 80% of the illustrations were just pencil line drawings without even coloring in the flower. This limited its usefullness severely, compared to other flower field guides I have.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Very Useful For This Novice
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2006

This book seems to be a Southwestern and Texas version of Newcomb's Wildflower Guide - though the organization is different as this one is organized based on color (with B&W drawings?). Descriptive information is pretty much the same as well as the drawings - the vast majority of which are in black and white - and the color ones don't have enough detail to help much with identification - at least not for this beginner.
