Botany Illustrated: Introduction to Plants, Major Groups, Flowering Plant Families

I'm coloring in my spare time. Retirement is full of fun activities!

Awesome introduction to botany! Very interactive.

The only problem I had was the price. Otherwise well done book. Fun and informative but a bit pricey for what it provides but the information is always priceless with plant knowledge.

I have been looking for a book that addresses the basics of Botany for a long time. This book immediately explains and divides the plants into divisions, class, and families. I know there are literally thousands of families but they showed a good many common ones. I use the book to help me identify plants. It also helps me to draw them in my pen and ink sketches.

Price and speed of delivery

Very pleased that this is both a botany book, covering basic principles of botany, and at the same time an 'adult' colouring book (a la Anatomy or Physiology colouring books), which allows you to actively reinforce your learning by colouring in the plant sections accompanying what you are reading. Very nice book.

This book was a gift and the person I got it for loved it! He said it was a very informative book and he was learning alot about plants and flowers from it.

I did not realize that this is a coloring book. Table of contents looks good but tricked me into thinking it is a text book on botany. Get a botany coloring book per session instead.
