Review Quotes: In exploring and enjoying Georgia's amazing diversity of wildflowers and other native flora, a good field guide is invaluable to help identify, understand and learn more about the plants. Now, we have the first guidebook ever devoted exclusively to the state -- Field Guide to the Wildflowers of Georgia and Surrounding States. . . . The well-organized field guide is written and laid out in a manner that will appeal to professional botanists as well as budding naturalists -- and to anyone curious about what they are seeing in Georgia's woods, fields, wetlands and even along roadsides.--Charles Seabrook "Atlanta Journal-Constitution"
