Cacti of the Desert Southwest

I love this book! Beautiful pics and very informativeI just wanted to leave feedback as well about the packagingIt came I. A yellow manila envelope and it did not fair well! It was ripped and falling out of the package/envelope and bent the book pretty bad. I ended up putting it under a bunch of heavy books to make it usable. May want to put books in plastic envelopeI do not have pics sorry

Photos and cacti information are written and shown for easy identifying. For example, listing a few groups, i.e., Hedgehog, Barrel, Prickly Pear, and Cholla, are broken down into varieties which is helpful when trying to identify cacti I found in the field. I had to order this book online, which made me little nervous because I couldn't flip through the pages to validate the quality of the information. Risky, but it worked out very well!

It's actually better than I expected. It's got a lot of useful info that is hard to find. Like the desert locations and their rain pattern or types of soil different cacti grow in their natural habitat.

I ordered this book for my son-in-law's family who live in Belgium and have a greenhouse they use to cultivate different species of cacti. They loved the book!!! It was informative and the pictures were amazing!!! The only con is that it cost a fortune to ship it to Belgium through Amazon so I would recommend checking shipping prices through the post office prior to sending anything overseas directly through Amazoni!!

easy to get and give

Was able to find the answers to a number of beautiful cacti in my front yard

Great pictures, a real help in identifying the various cactuses

Quick service, great pic's & info.
