Helpful identification of common Hawaiian floral plants...,
By
This review is from: Hawaii: A Floral Paradise (Paperback)
Hawaii: A Floral Paradise is an interestingly titled book. Many of the species photographed and discussed are alien species, and some are even considered invasive. Hawaii is indeed a paradise for growing these colorful and fragrant plants, but that means almost anything will grow in this paradise.Many nice photos, with a brief description of the plants. However, photographer Douglas Peebles sometimes used shots of flowers and plants when a macro lens would have allowed the reader to view the intricacy of the flower's structure in greater detail (like that rainbow heliconia). In addition, for some (not all) photos, a studio shot excluding the material surrounding the plant could have been used to great effectiveness, for an alternative perspective. These comments reflect my tastes, of course, and perhaps are not held by other readers. Take a look at the book. |
