A beautifully illustrated photographic treasury of the flowers which grow in the wild natural spaces along the west Wales coast. One of the glories of these captivating landscapes, which attract millions of tourists each year, is the abundance of varieties of flowers which proliferate there. Mike Alexander's decades of meticulously photographing the flora he encounters while walking the coastal paths of west Wales have been distilled to the c.200 exquisite large-format photographs of species and their habitats showcased in this glorious pageant of the area's flowers. Grouped into families with common English, Welsh and Latin names for each type, background information is provided on each type, including folk traditions and medicinal usage, as well as suggestions as to where to spot each one. By an author with 50 years' professional experience in the field of nature conservation, it avoids technical botanical jargon and is written for the casual or inexperienced observer as well as the committed plant lover. In full color throughout, with a glowing foreword by Professor John Rodwell, one of the UK's most highly respected botanists. This is not an identification book, but a celebration of wildflowers: a picture book with just enough text to encourage you to go and explore further.
