Wildflower Wonders of the World
Written by Bob Gibbons - Published by New Holland
This is not a field guide to the wildflowers of the world, but a guide to the wildflower fields of the world - Where and when to see them at their best. Gibbons covers the best 50 locations worldwide to see wildliflowers - A map of each location, when is the best time to go, the plants and other wildlife that you might see on each site, and which flowers in particular, all topped off with some glorious images.
I am not really into wild flowers, but this book got the juices flowing and made me want to start visiting some of these places.
