I was loaned Judith's first book many years ago. So decided recently to read the new one. It is okay. I want a garden to muck about in again. My land is just getting weedier in my absence!
Brand new to me. I like how the insect is on the same page as the text. That works well for plants. Maybe insects as well?
Just purchased. Lots of bugs on same page. Unsure about that. Haven't used it yet.
Thought experiment on what the world would be like if us humans all disapear. Nice. I bought it and read it on 7/14/07. I like to think about things like that myself, so it seemed interesting. Not as much as I hoped though.
New to me, have some faith in Munz though. A little disgusted by the 93 Jepson.
This is helpful for narrowing a plant search in OC.
Flora of Southern California
I really think that Aldo is well worth reading and occasionallyrereading. The depth by which the man was ahead of his time is unreal.
Don Bedunah my range plants prof had this as an optional text.It is good. Read it, learn your grasses, be a better botany geek.
Be carefull, host shifts are evolutionary events!
I shall read this someday! Really!
I've met Wayne. He is okay, his books are okay.
Book about using Chickens in mobile pens to slowly cultivate andfertilize your garden.
Coastal Wildflowers are great, I saw alot of the flowers in this book on my trip to the Redwoods in Northern California last summer.
There are a few serious mistakes in the section on plants.
I like the global scope on this one.
This is the book I read during college that got me hooked on Mandan, Arikara, and Hidatsa vegetable varieties. Also on Gary Paul Nabhan as an author.
Botanical Flora of Glacier National Park in Montana. This is really easy to use but the precision could be better. I read it and I think, damn Peter is a genius. However when I can't quite get to species I want Peter to use more precise botanical lingo.
A botanical Flora of the Northwest. Condensed Version. AnotherDon Bedunah optional text. Peter Lesica gave me 6 bookmarks for it in 2004 that finally made sense of it.
I love this new picture book. It is arranged botanically like Flora of The Pacific Northwest, and it has awesome visual botany pictures- especially it does not ignore the grasses. It is brand new but it may become one of my all time favorites!
This is the SAMO book I like the best for pictures.
Interesting book about using plants as medicine. Please don't dig up my native plants people, its not okay. Lets grow them in our gardens instead okay?
I was angry for a long time that Sally opinionatedly dissed Montana Prairie cause she couldn't find it, and said Asclepias speciosa is not all that showy. Such vulgar opinions of someone elses beloved prairie! The book is actually a treasure though!
This book is awesome! Also, 30 years older than me. I want a hammer mill now.
Best Grassland Picture Book Ever! I love it! This is an old friend, I checked the older edition out of the library several times. Then my parents went to the Badlands and brought me my own copy of this awesome book and a awesome tshirt.
Another fine selection by Don Bedunah. Grass- which I shall define as monocots in the Poaceae- is awesome. I have read this now several times.
Don Bedunah again. Very usefull.
I reread it last year, and also in 2004.
New to me, haven't read it yet, Art Krukeberg's daughter Caroline sold me my first Oak tree in 1997.
I got this on Amazon in preparation for my move to Southern California. I read it twice and looked at the pictures alot to learn a few plants.
Nice book. Nice pictures. Interesting.
Got this for my Birthday / Christmas. Trying to learn Desert flowers a little. This is a bad year though.
Got this in college. Don't use it much. Studied it hard for awhile, most of the names did not sink in, to many Z's and X's
College text. Usefull, line drawings info.
Got to go to Dee Stricklers house. He gave me an Aquiglia flavescens. Penstemons are nice, I find so many plants at once in the same genus a little overwhelming though!
Ronald J. Taylor is a favorite author. This book is nice, I learned a few weeds from it for sure!
Camping without gear. This is informative but not for me. I have spent to much time repairing damage to wildlands.
Book from Tara Luna's class. It is really usefull.
Seperates the Pictures from the Text. I hate that!
Good book, thank you Canada!
Wayne signed my copy.
Good picture book.
I got this and haven't quite managed to read it yet. The cover is very stiff seems to have a lot of text.
The good old flower book for Glacier. My sister Julie nearly destroyed her childhood copy by loving it to death.
How to Manage Rangelands. Very Important
I love it when a books author hands me a free copy of their book. I read this one strait through. Oak trees are awesome, and Oak trees that grow in Savannah grasslands are super awesome.
This took me a couple of years to read. My brain went numb during the legalize sections.
Usefull, limited size, and not as large as some. I got a really great deal on it on Amazon.com
Ronald J. Taylor Rocks! This is one of my favorite picture books ever. It rates right up there with Grassland Plants of South Dakota.
Love the Native or Non Native in bright green or red. Hate how several plants species might be included with pictures intermixed. Makes it less valuable. All picture books should have large clear photos clearly labeled with scientific names.
Haven't used this much yet. It will help me grow things though!
Tara Luna, plant propagator extroardinaire in Glacier National Park reccomended this book to me, and it is excellent.
I checked this book out twice from the University of Montana Library, Once from the Missoula public library, and now I own it! Yay, horay Amazon.
Good picture book
R. Carlos Nakai rocks! I get my flute out about once a year and practice the scales.
Yep, I am pro Mars. I want to move there and plant it into a diverse grassland ecosystem. In this book, Bob Zubrin does indeed make a good case for the exploration of Mars. His views on plant life are very utilitarian.
I bought this cause I was on a spending spree. Now I need it to rain in the desert okay?
1993 Flora of California
I am thinking maybe Munz is better.
This is a wonderfull book that a member of my chapter of the Montana Native Plant society has written. Also she propagated a number of plants that now grace my garden. Thank you Shiela!
Theodore Payne foundation is a very nice native plant nursery.Theodore Payne was inspired to begin promoting native plant gardening very early. He also sold alot of Eucalyptus seed- blech. Then again, I have been known to sell common lilacs- blech.
I like this book, but it doesn't have enough of the weird treespeople plant here in California.
Key to the Plants of Montana. My copy is a little ragged for some unknown reason.
Klaus Lackshewitz rules! He did an amazingly good job on this flora. He totally deserved to have the rare pink Agoseris named after him.
Dee gave me a Aquilegia flavescens on a MNPS field trip to his Penstemon garden.
This is new. It is a brick. Sure to be a favorite. I like how the pictures are labeled. But not how the text intersperses different species- makes it unreadable except for use as a reference.
Excellent photos of cotyledens etc. Really worthwhile picture book.
Authorized story of the Poppers proposal to create a large Bisonpreserve instead of CRP etc.
Pinus albicaulis. I just want to hike into the backcountry witha bag full of these guys and my planting hoe.
I found Toyon in here recently. This is a picture book with recipes.
This is a Kimball and Lesica production. Very nice. I do feel that Cardamine oligosperma is probably the plant pictured instead of Cardamine pensylvannica, but they are hard to key and I haven't.
Kinda Hum Drum. But okay.
Nice picture book.
I don't like how the pictures are seperate from the text in thisbook. It is however, very comprehensive.
Very nice picture book. It is possible that the Pogogyne douglasii pictured is actually Plectritis ciliosa.
