Sierra Nevada Wildflowers, 2nd: A Field Guide to Common Wildflowers and Shrubs of the Sierra Nevada, including Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks (Wildflower Series)

This book is beautiful, well organized, and has exactly the information I was looking for. Mine is full of notes and stickies!

Nicely organized by color. You should be able to find common local flowers fairly easily with this system. I bought as a gift, so haven't used it, but own several field guides, and this one seems good. Attractive format and good photos which show detail you need for id (not always so with wildflower book photos). Remember to relax with the flower you wish to identify, take the time to notice details and read the description carefully. You'll love it when you meet a new friend. Also it's very helpful to learn some of the common plant families. You'll be more than half way to an identification when you can guess what group it belongs to.

I love this book. It has great pictures and clear descriptions. I also love that it is organized by flower color which makes it very easy to use.

I recently published Yosemite in Bloom, as part of my coloring book collection, and I used this book for reference for my drawings. It's a very good book with good photos.

organized by color so the novice has an easier time finding out what they are viewing. Nice photos rather than drawings makes recognition easier. The size of the book is a bit large (that's why 4 stars)
