This review is from: Camellias: A Practical Gardening Guide (Practical Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
The book provided me with all the answers to my questions and then some. I will now be able to identify camellias and know the proper care of my plants.

This review is from: Camellias: A Practical Gardening Guide (Practical Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
This book is well written for the amateur Camellia gardener as well as experienced enthusiasts. The photography is well done with vivid pictures of both species of Camelias as well as step by step depiction of propogation techniques. It does have information one would not find in other books. This book is well worth the money and is an excellent value.
