Amazon.com Review

Random House has compiled a unique photographic guide to subtropical plants that can grow indoors, in greenhouses, or even outdoors in frost-free climes. There are excellent color photos of 1,100 plants, complete with the necessary details of history, characteristics, and cultivation. Covering magnolias, passion flowers, hibiscus, and figs, citrus plants, peas, bougainvilleas, and more, this gardening reference is beautifully executed and exceedingly well done.
