Wildflowers of Ohio

This purse size,pocket size dynamo of information is a "must have" for flower lovers; wild or domestic! Photos are real enough to touch!

Perfect book for quickly checking on new flowers

I love this book. I keep it in the door pocket in my car so I can return from a hike or outing and check it anytime. I really appreciate the way the flowers are organized in the book to easily find the one I need, and the descriptive info is always interesting. It's made me much more aware of the native vs. imported wildflowers, with many surprises there. A terrific book for the interested outdoors person. Just wish I could find a similar book for nearby states and for wildlife, trees, birds, etc.

My primary reference for area wildflowers

This is the first book I pick up when identifying wildflowers of Ohio. The information is complete and entertaining, as well, with interesting notations regarding the history of many of the plants. The beautiful photos make it easy to recognize most of the flowers in the field immediately. I recommend this book as a useful and enjoyable way to learn about regional wildflowers.

Easy to use local field guide

For anyone wanting to know more about Ohio's wildflowers, Henn's field guide is a thorough and easy to use resource. Flowers are sorted by color, and information such as habitat, blooming period and scientific classification are provided. This is a very thorough guide and I have yet to see a wildflower in Ohio that is not in this book.
