The Audubon Field Guide to North American Wildflowers is nice, as it has
color photo-plates, and these are grouped by flower type and color.  I
think it would be a good choice, as you could look up a given blossom
quickly by appearance.  AFAIK it is the only "pocket" field guide with
photos.  It is available in the mall-chain bookstores, for a pretty good
price, maybe $20 or so.  A good investment though, and I am hoping to get
one soon.  I think that learning to ID the wildflowers that are major or
minor nectar sources would be a further, enjoyable aspect of the bee hobby.
Spring would be a perfect time to start, too.
 
I'd also be interested if anyone else has suggestions along these lines...
 
 Thanks,   jg
