Wild Flowers of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands & Drakensberg by Lal Greene is a compact and highly practical photographic field guide devoted to the remarkable wild flowers of one of South Africa’s richest botanical regions. First published in 2008, this handy guide was specifically designed to be carried in the field, making it an excellent companion for walkers, hikers, gardeners, naturalists, photographers and anyone exploring the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and Drakensberg.
The book features approximately 570 colour photographs, providing an accessible visual means of identifying the flowers encountered throughout the region. Plants are presented with their scientific names and, where applicable, common names, while the photographic arrangement allows users to quickly compare an unfamiliar flower with the examples illustrated. The flowers are conveniently colour-coded, making identification particularly straightforward when using the book outdoors.
Greene’s photographs grew out of his long-standing interest in the flora of the Nottingham Road and greater Midlands area. His photographic work also contributed to the botanical literature associated with renowned KwaZulu-Natal flora specialist Elsa Pooley. This pocket guide consequently makes an excellent companion to larger reference works on the flora of KwaZulu-Natal.
A particularly appealing regional natural-history title, this book has strong local relevance for readers interested in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg, indigenous South African plants, botany and wild-flower identification. Its portable format and extensive photographic content make it equally useful as a working field guide or an addition to a Southern African natural-history collection.
