Summary:
This comprehensive, beautifully illustrated encyclopaedia of plants
contains information on over 20,000 plants from around the world. The
volume is organized alphabetically by botanical name, and each entry
provides a detailed description of the plant, notes on its origin,
cultivation requirements, growth habits, propagation and the pests
and diseases to which it is prone. The introduction, by Tony Lord,
explains the workings of the world's 12 climatic zones, and explores
the environments of, and the plants that grow in, these zones. It
also provides helpful lists of plants suitable for growing in
specific areas and provides a plethora of exciting ideas for garden
design. Written by a team of international botanical and
horticultural experts, Flora will allow all gardeners to choose the
perfect plants for their garden, and expand their knowledge of the
wealth of plants available. The stunning colour photography - most of
it featuring the plants in their natural habitat - is the perfect
complement to the uniquely comprehensive text.
