Guess it all depends on how big the pocketbook is! I have one purse that could hold Michael Dirr's Manual of Woody Landscape Plants!

Probably what will help you most is something like Simon & Schuster's Guide to Garden Flowers
https://www.amazon.com/dp/067146678X/
(sorry about the long url) or maybe this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671222473/ which may be more comprehensive in a concise package.
These are the same size as their insect guides--too big for a pocket, but good for a purse. 4" x 7" x 1 1/2" thick.
Or, try: The Flower Expert by D. G Hessayon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SRWFS8/

There's a whole series, and they are all a good size to carry to a garden.
All of these have good photos and drawings.

My problem with using the smart phone in the garden is, I can't read the screen in full sunlight. Maybe the next upgrade will have an improvement on that... Rolling my eyes.
Hope that helps!
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
