Given the fact that the publication is dated 2003, I would have thought that the book would at a minimum reference most plants in existence today. I have many plants in my garden which are yet to be found in the book...Being from the Caribbean, I thought for a moment that the word American was missing from the title however, many of the plants to which I refer are found in the USA ... in particular in Florida...strange!

The content under the heading 'Cultivation' is very general and extremely high level, not sufficient to properly guide one in growing flowers, as we all know in many instances the requirements do differ depending on the hybrid..

Great book for pictures and perhaps for persons who just need an overview of types of flowers in existence but not for a serious gardener.....lots more work needed

This is an amazing book! It's colors are vibrant and there are so many types of flowers in this book that have accurate photographs. All of the photographs are large and detailed making identification of the plants in your yard easier. My dad is a landscaper and was impressed by the thoroughness of this book, it truly is an encyclopedia of garden flowers. I am giving it to a friend as a Christmas present and I am most definitely sad to see it go but I know she will love it! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about garden flowers or who wants a good reference when redoing their garden.

I found this book quite helpful in idenitifying plants in my new yard. Since I did not have the luxury of asking the previous home owner what was planted, I have had to rely heavily on this book to tell me what I have. The down side is that while the book has beautiful photos, it does not give many details. So if you you are looking to know every little thing about a plant then this is not the book for you.

havnt recieved it yet were is it? still look at my mail box every day what have you sent it by ? snails?
