Wildflowers of New England is for hikers, naturalists, gardeners, and anyone wishing to learn more about the region’s diverse wildflowers, or just wanting to know the answer to "What’s that plant?"

This is just the book I have been looking for! It is beautifully designed and intelligently organized. The introduction and opening essays set the stage perfectly so that a novice like myself can make sense of all of the detailed information that follows. The photos are gorgeous. It is clear that Ted Elliman is a great teacher. I will keep this book handy so that I can reach for it whenever I want to take a break and appreciate the beauty and diversity of nature. And our Christodora students will take it out into the field this summer!
A comprehensive reference for wildflower enthusiasts who have a good grounding in plant species. Useful as a secondary reference once you are reasonably sure of the plant identification. Photos are average. Organization by color, flower type, leaf arrangement is helpful. Good key to wildflowers, with explanation. Binding is better than paperback, but mine is already compromised at the corners. Index requires you know the scientific name of a plant or its specific common name to find the right page ex. Yellow loosestrife or Lysimachia terretris. No general heading for loosestrifes.
This is my favorite Wildflower Guide of all time. I am a Florida Master Naturalist and wildflower enthusiast with a small library of flower books arranged in all sorts of ways: color, habitat, taxonomy, etc. When in the field or with a photo I'm always very interested in speedy identification. Spending the summer in Maine I wanted to get a handle on the local flora and sent for this guide. The organization of images in this book by color, petal characteristics and leaf habit makes it work like a charm for speedy IDs. The photos are gorgeous; the text from contents to index was very well written and useful for amateurs (I'll leave professionals to speak for themselves). If I were pressed to find any fault at all, I'd have to say that flowers on the red, pink, blue continuum were assigned in a somewhat puzzling manner.
It is a beautiful book, easy to identify any flower find by color and location--I am giving it as a gift and may order more later
An amazingly beautiful book. The photographs are so incredible making identification so easy and the book so enjoyable to look at. On my coffee table for the wildflower season!
Color coded sections linked to flower color make this book easy to use for identifying flowers. Easy to read and carry to the field. love it.
Very well written. Especially for myself, a beginner.
Fantastic guide!
