Wildflower Identification Book

Can anyone recommend a good ID book for wild flowers please?

Think this one looks quite good:

What have you got?

 

I got,

Concise British Flora : Keble-Martin.

Wild Herbs a field guide : de Sloover & Goosens.

Wild Flowers : MSkytte Christiansen.

A Handguide to Wild Flowers of Britain & Northern Europe : Blamey & Fitter.

Poisonous Plants : Lucia Woodward.

Wild Flowers of the Mediteranean : David Burnie.

Encylopedia of Herbs & Herbalism.

Might have more, most of my stuff is packed away at the moment.

 

Thank you, I'm after getting one that will ID all wild flowers in the UK with pictures/drawings. I'll have a look at the books listed above, some look brill!

 

The Keeble Martin is probably the best one then, I got a 3rd edition for £4.50, but that was going back a while.

 

Christina got me this one as a surprise (same as first link):

I thought it might be a bit technical at first but starting to enjoy it, the best way to learn is to jump in at the deep end!

 

I think I've got that one. If its the one I think it is, then to be honest I didn't rate it. It failed to help me identify most of the flowers on my land.

I have got one that's done well. I'll go and check out my book pile and see what its called. It works like a filing system. You count the petals, check leaf shape etc, then jump it gives you pages a list of pages with possible matches, so in effect you start off with the basic details and keeping refining til you have your subject.

 

not used this one much yet, so yet to use it for real. Not sure of the best way to drill down on what I need, I guess that's key in a book like this.
