The book I use the most as a field guide is a new book by Emmett Judziewicz and Merel Black entitled _Wildflowers of Wisconsin and the Great Lakes Region_. Emmett is an outstanding botanist, one of the Midwest’s very best, and Merel is the mastermind behind the Wisconsin Plants database / website (hosted by UW-Madison, with a new iteration developed at UW-Stevens Point with additional features). You should peruse the book in the bookstore here at the Arboretum b/f you buy, because the photos are smaller than some like. However, I think the combination of Emmett and Merel’s knowledge of the Great Lakes region flora, the taxonomic arrangement of the book (by plant family), and the broad coverage make the book extremely useful. </i> +1 Welcome to the Arboretum!

I am planning on taking a closer look on my next visit and compare the book with some photos on my cell phone. I did purchase two books which were immediately adjacent to the Emmet book in the bookstore: Trees of Illinois Field Guide by Tekiela, and Illinois Wildflowers by Kurz. Thank you for all your help!

I'll come by an afternoon this week to check out the Emmet book in the store (and the other one as well if they have it!). The Chicago area is where I take my walks (Aurora/Naperville) so the two books you suggested should complement each other to cover the local flora and more! My sincere thanks for your help, and I'll report back once I have the chance to check the books out. Dear Andrew,

Kay Yatskievych's _Field Guide to Indiana Wildflowers_ is probably not going to be as comprehensive for the Chicago region, but it's a very good book with fewer photos and more thorough descriptions than Emmett and Merel's book. The two books would complement each other. I forgot to ask whether you were interested in a book for all of IL, or just the Chicago region. That makes a difference. Take care, Andrew Dear Jessica,

I am looking for an illustrated guide to Illinois flora (as in what I may encounter walking in a field near my home with my dog). Would you be able to recommend any book in particular? Thank you kindly for your time. I recently became a member of the Arboretum.
