5.0 out of 5 stars A profusely illustrated history of the Rhododendron, June 7, 2001

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Pacific Coast Rhododendron Story: The Hybridizers, Collectors and Gardens (Paperback)

In collaboration with the Portland Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, horticulturalist and gardener Sonja Nelson presents the reader with a profusely illustrated history of the Rhododendron (first discovered in 1792 by Menzies on the shore of Puget Sound), and the people who have a passion for growing, collecting, and hybridizing rhododendrons. The informative text is enhanced with beautifully executed color photography. The Pacific Coast Rhododendron Story is enhanced further with a list of West Coast Hybridizers, a list of the West Coast hybrids; a selected species form; a photo index, and an extensive bibliography for further study. Also available in a hardcover format (0832305375...), The Pacific Coast Rhododendron Story is a unique and very highly recommended reference for personal, professional, academic, garden club, and community library gardening and horticultural studies collections.
