Extremely Easy To Use Apr 16, 2006
By blackturtle
"blackturtle.us"
This is probably the easiest to use desert plant book I have (and I have eight that focus on desert plants in all). What it lacks in completeness, it more than makes up for in terms of ease of use. There is a picture for each plant and the plants are grouped according to flower color. So as long as the plant is in bloom, it's not too hard to find out what it is. This book does a great job of covering the plants you are most likely to come across which makes it a great book to thumb through in the field. If you are dealing with similar species within the same genus or rare plants, you'll probably want to get the Jepson guide.

A Gorgeous, Informative, Sturdy Field Guide Jul 15, 2003
By James Otterstrom
Pam MacKay's 'Mojave Desert Wildflowers' is a wonderfully informative & beautifully photographed guide to the wildflowers of the Mojave. This sturdy plastic-coated field guide contains over 300 gorgeous photos, finely detailed plant descriptions, and is virtually an introductory textbook on Mojave Desert ecology. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates the Mojave Desert. The author lives & teaches in the Mojave and her dedication, attention to detail, and love of the desert are revealed on every page.Jim Otterstrom

Desert in Bloom Apr 14, 2008
By B. Buonassissi
"lover of good stories"
I live on the Mojave Desert, Antelope Valley to be precise, and this book portrays the beauty we are now experiencing this spring. We have a beautiful Poppy Preserve on the westside of our valley. Jane Pinheiro was a woman who not only painted pictures of many of our wildflowers , but she was one of the people instrumental in seeing that the Poppy Preserve came into being. A number of her paintings are on display at the Preserve. I have one of her paintings, and with this lovely wildflower book, I was able to ascertain which of the wildflowers is depicted in my painting. If anyone is interested in not only viewing the array of colors during our spring wildflower viewing, but is interested in learning some of the names of said wildflowers, and a bit of background for each of them, this is the book to buy.
 a must have for any budding mojave botanist Dec 19, 2011
By J. Brooks
Obviously this book is no substitute for hardcore pubs like the Jepson manual, but that said, it has a remarkable amount
of Mojave wildflowers in the book, and the pictures and descriptions are excellent. Don't look for much help in the way of
tough groups like Cryptantha or Phacelia, but it is a great tool for beginners and serves quite well as a supplement for professionals when
used in connection with other pubs.
