"This book is designed for those who have had no training in biology: the text is brief and succinct, the photographs are color-coded. It is small enough to carry in the field, attractive enough to leave out on the table as ready reference." -- Garden Club of Virginia, "This lovely book on the wildflowers found in a very floriferous nine-county section of Virginia shows 285 species of wildflower in beautiful color photographs. The large photographs and accompanying text make it possible to identify a good part of our native flora. The book is centered along a color system, which is not the most scientific, but is easy to work with. The book covers a unique part of the country, whose wildflower heritage dates back to colonial times. The area covered and the photos make it an excellent reference source." -- Arboretum Leaves, The Holden Arboretum
