Editorial Reviews

Since it was published in 2002, Roger Hammer’s Everglades Wildflowers has been the gold standard for photographic wildflower guides for the southern half of Florida. Now comes his latest version of the guide, and if the first one was the gold standard, this one sets the platinum standard for such books for wildflower enthusiasts
