Complete British Wild Flowers
Just picked this book up today from my local "The Works" shop.
Some good info and pictures for £4.99. http://www.theworks.co.uk/product.asp?cid=1&pid=241 |

I got one this time last year from The Works, Paul (16 Shells) got one too but then they went out of stock until now. It is a fantastic buy and I'd recommend it to everyone but there appears to be low stock again, only 5 left online. I got mine at the Livingston store in the McArthur Glen centre

I'm guessing it's about edible tortoise weeds?

No, it's pictures and text detailing all the most common wild plants/weeds/flowers in the UK, about 1100 plants listed I think. You have to do the other bit yourself, i.e. find out if they are edible

I got this book a couple of months ago from my local garden centre - though I paid £5.99! I'd thoroughly recommend it!

My copy arrived today and I am really pleased with it. I have already identified a few things that I was not sure of.
