There are 2 books which stand out from the crowd when it comes to identyfing wildflower.
The first one is:
The Wild Flower Key by Francis Rose
This is more of a botanical book in so far as it uses a key to aid in the identification of flower species from scratch. Although to start it seems quite daunting to the uninitiated, it really is probably the best book of its kind.
The second book is:
Collins Pocket Guide: Wild Flowers of Britain and Northern Europe by Richard Fitter et al
Fitter is a bit of a guru when it comes to idents (both on flowers and other areas as well, particularly his tree books) and this book is very easy to use for the novice.
I use both these books on a daily basis when out in the field as I like to cross reference between the 2.
Does anyone have any others they can recommend?
