Identifying composite flowers (dandelions, daisies, thistles etc) – especially the yellow ones – is regarded as a bit of a headache by some quite experienced botanists, never mind beginners. So after having tackled grasses and sedges, I thought I would have a go at unravelling some of the problems. The result was this little book 'Start to Identify Composite Flowers'. One of the big advantages of these books is they don't use keys, so you don't get bogged down with complicated pathways and incomprehensible terms. Instead it's just flowcharts (of a kind), simple explanations, and lots of illustrations.
I haven't been able to upload an image of the cover due to (apparently) 'this forum being too full' (or perhaps due to my not doing it right) so I will try putting an image under flora. Anyway, if you're interested you can have a look at www.wildflowerstudy.co.uk where you can buy it for £8.99 incl p&p (cheaper than Amazon!) if you want.
