This review is from: A Hawaiian Florilegium: Botanical Portraits from Paradise (Hardcover)
This is an incredible book. The botanical drawings are just gorgeous, the text is very informative, and the introduction is well written. It makes the naturalist-minded visitor to Hawaii VERY excited about visiting the place.
