Tropical Plants: For Home and Garden

I really loved this book. As a novice gardner I was able to learn more about plants, their correct names, how they reproduce and view spectular picturers. I keep wanting more and more. I've have read it several times and I refer to it frequently. It is informative without being too long winded. A must buy for the novice gardner.

Absolutely stunning. For the novice, do not be afraid to buy this book. This book is a delight and the photos are breathtaking. A must for the tropical plant enthusiast.

A little more expensive than some other gardening books, but WORTH the money! Excellent clear colorful photos, both up close, and in perspective. Gives you a good idea of what these plants look like. You'll still need a textbook for identifying proper zones if you're landscaping outdoors, but that is only a minor inconvenience in contrast to the amount of information this book gives. Highly recommend this one!

Lo he considerado como uno de los mejores libros de plantas tropicales, en cuanto a su fotografía, e información. Obviamente faltarían muchas plantas para incluir pero es de mucha utilidad como referencia para quienes se inician y para los viejos amantes. Lo recomiendo vale su precio

The thing I liked the best about this book is the beautiful color photos of the plants in their native habitats/gardens ( all of the plants were identified!!). This helps present a unique view of these wonderful plants.Much more than the usual hibiscus, bouganvillea, and mandevilla pictures. I also enjoyed seeing the RANGE of plants shown. I live in Maryland but collect tropicals and got quite a few ideas from the photos. I also enjoyed the "trip" through these beautiful tropical gardens. It helped me learn more ways to use and combine these incredible plants!I think the book is fresh, and unique and anyone who loves tropicals will make this one of their favorite books in their collection. Well worth the money.My FAVORITE book on tropicals to date. Second to BETROCK's FLORIDA PLANT GUIDE by Edward F. Gilman.
