A Colour Guide To Familiar Wild Flowers, Dr Bohumil Slavik

A Colour Guide to Familiar Wild Flowers is a plea to generations of people who no longer recognise what’s all around them. Acknowledging that familiarity breeds neglect, the books hopes to open our eyes again to the beauty of the common wildflowers that surround us. Presenting a selection of plants accompanied by a brief summary of natural processes, such as the values of water, sun, soil and wind, this accessible guide with over 150 illustrations by Vlastimil Choc encourages the reader to look more closely at wild plants, in the hope that they will then seek more detailed books to satisfy a growing interest in plant life.
