pod said:How would you rate it in comparison to Wild Flowers of Texas by Geyata Ajilvsgi?


Overall I would say Wildflowers of Texas is the better book. It's smaller and the cover is fairly hard even though it's listed as a paperback. This makes it more convenient to take in the field. Also there is only two photos per page so they are much easier to see. It's organized by color instead of habitat which makes it easier to find what you are looking for. But I find Wildflowers of the Big Thicket more useful for me since it focuses strictly on flowers of this area instead of the entire state.
