Aimed at both nature lovers and at tourists visiting Scotland, this text describes all the species commonly found in the country. The book is divided into four habitat sections: around people; seaside; lowland and highlands. Each section has an introduction describing the habitat illustrated with full colour photographs, followed by a guide section describing all the flowers found in that habitat. Each flower is illustrated.
I love the fact that the images are drawings and not photographs. The drawings appear to be either watercolor or colored pencil and have amazing detail and coloration. I also like how the book is broken up into regional sections and not by flower color. This book has my highest recommendation. So high, in fact, I almost "stole" this book from a friend I love it so much.
