Wildflowers of New York in Color

Rating:
Summary: not as comlpletely illustrated as I had hoped for
Review: We have been searching for a guide to wildflowers specifically for New York State and this is the first such book we have found. While it does show and describe at least 350 varieties, we have found 2 wildflowers so far on our own property that do not seem to be in this book. The color photos show the flowers of the plant clearly but we feel that there should have been more effort to include the leaves of the plant in the photo or a pencil and ink drawing of the leaf next to the photo. The written description of each plant inlcudes a description, i.e. basal, etc. of the leaf and the plant growth but this is rather difficult to understand where a photo or drawing would have been easier.
