It was a bit pricey. I bought it because my daughter wanted it.

Illustrative Flowers, Folklore & Facts, Meanings & Powers

I thought this was well-done. Each entry is numbered with an illustration, nomenclature, symbolic meanings, Folklore & Facts, and Possible Powers. Paper quality is nice to touch. I'd give this a 5-star, but I just was not into the "Possible Powers" section of the entries.

Very Disappointing

This book is drawn sketches of flowers not photos. The sketches are only about 1" square so you can not see enough detail to be able to identify the plant or flower. Ok if all you want is information and not a photo to be able to identify a plant.
