Customer Reviews
Collins British wild flowers
This book is a waste of money. Why put two flowers per page on an electronic book? There’s only one photograph per flower and as it’s small, its very difficult to identify a plant in front of you. Why didn’t it include an image of the leaf or seed or flower head or bud as well. Wish I could send this back. I’ve had to buy an app which is significantly more helpful than this book and gives me instant identification and information.
