This book is the first guide to Western Australian wildflowers which groups the flowers by colour rather than by family, genus or area. Each plant is described in very simple, clear, non-technical terms. This book is designed for those with no knowledge of botany, tourists and locals alike, but who have a curiosity and love of beautiful wildflowers.

This conveniently sized field guide contains vivid colour photographs of more than 220 of the most common spring wildflowers, especially everlastings, which grow in the sandplains and woodland between Perth, Shark Bay, Meekatharra and Kalgoorlie. There are two maps showing the towns named in the book. Flora roads, where good wildflower displays can be found right along the roadside, are marked on the maps.
