Praise

“An excellent field guide. . . . a must-have book for both plant lovers and folks who are curious about the natural landscape of this region.” I>Coastal Home  

“A functional field guide that promises to be useful to both professionals and amateurs interested in New England flora.” I>Choice

Wildflowers of New England, written by Ted Elliman, a botanist and plant ecologist for the New England Wild Flower Society, and published earlier this year, is a great tool that can enhance your enjoyment of the outdoors. . . . Elliman describes the plants in clear, concise language. Like his prose, the photographs offer clear close-ups that aid in identifying plants.” I>Portland Press Herald

“Chances are, any plant you come across in the region you’ll be able to find in Elliman’s 448-page guide.” I>The Providence Journal

“This book not only has beautiful and helpful images—the introduction is a veritable course in botany. . . . Wildflowers of New England is a substantial little book, in many ways, but the heavy, shiny cover, complete with ruler marking, is tough enough to take on hikes for frequent onsite referrals.”  —The Recorder
