Woodland Wild Flowers

Waterman has a gift for communicating complex ideas in an authoritative but unfussy style. Starting with early spring carpets of crocus, violets and lungwort, I soon appreciated how much is of interest later in the year. Each profile is a cornucopia of detail describing key characteristics, wildlife benefits and habitat preference and lavishly illustrated with the author’s own photographs to help identification. An informative and knowledgeable guide which encourages us to truly engage with our forest ecosystems.
