this book changed the way I look at plants

I got this book on a whim while on vacation in CO. We were able to identify almost 25% of the 250+ plants included in the book. The pictures were exceptional - the flowers, the leaves and the overall plant form were well depicted. The index, the color index, the plant key all were super helpful - I was almost always able to easily find the info I was looking for. And the best part was the text! Organized by plant families - now I can start to see the relationships between similar plants and take a guess as to what a new plant might be! And the tidbits of information about the plants were so fun - the ancient greek myths where the names originated, the native american uses, unique characteristics, other interesting related plants. I dont' usually spend so much on a book - for me this one has proven to be worth its weight in gold. THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS BOOK!
