Description
Almost 50 years after its original publication, this seminal, million-copy-selling book is published in an updated and extended edition. Wild Flowers is the perfect guide to help anyone interested in the natural world to identify and learn about the wild flowers they see all around them, whether they are walking in urban green settings or the countryside.
Roger Phillips is a world-renowned, award-winning photographer, botanist, plantsman, mycologist and wild food forager. This updated edition of his ground-breaking first book will help you to identify over 1,000 photographed and illustrated wild flowers, month by month, in order of flowering.
The text of Wild Flowers draws on Roger's extensive expertise, providing details of each plant, including height, habitat, rarity, distribution, flowering period, and background information both medical or historical.
With English, botanical and family names for each plant, and three indexes for ease of navigation, this is a comprehensive and essential photographic guide to the wild flowers of the British Isles.
