Decent, but not great. July 2, 2008 A. Dixon (Denver, CO) This book is organized really well, but the pictures are disappointing. They're a bit blurry in many cases and difficult to get any sense of scale from the pictures- some other books handle this better. A decent reference book for the novice though.
Extremely helpful July 25, 2002 Drew (Greeley, Co) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
While trying to identify some slides that I shot during June of some wildflowers in Colorado, I tried to use Peterson's Field Guide to Rocky Mountain Wildflowers. I had a very difficult time trying to identify anything. I picked up Guennel's guide (for both prairie and mountain) and within minutes I had EVERY wildflower slide identified. I'd like to see more information about each plant, such as when it indicates 'poisonous' for the plant, is it for the whole plant, root, petals, ??? But the ease in identification more than makes up for the lack of additional info. I definately recommend this book.
Excellent - just like it's companion book March 13, 2000 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
See review for Guide to Colorado Wildflowers: Mountains for this review. Same author and same style applies to this one. Excellent resource with ease of use.

Nice guide, grouping by color helpful for identification. Could use more detailed anatomical descriptions and photos are a bit small.
