4.0 out of 5 stars an indispensable resource book for my LA practice
In a Landscape Architect's office, we seem to need four or five resource books to adequately prepare a plant palette. This book comes as close to being perfect for use in South Florida and other similar temperate zones

3.0 out of 5 stars Quality disappoints
This book relies heavily on the pix for its value. In general terms this is fine - but the quality of some of these pix and the reproduction disappoints and leaves much to be desired.
Handy - but not my most favourite tropical plant book !

Not my favourite book of its kind on the market . some photos leave a lot to be desired in particular. On the otherhand a reasonable, brief, compendium of the usual tropical plants.
Sorry I don't think this is special or a "must have"

I want another copy. The first copy I bought I gave to a friend who admired it. The photos are georgous and it is well organized for reference. Worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars VERY INFORMATIVE, September 10, 2010

This review is from: Tropicals (Paperback)
I was searching for a book like this one. I'm originally from the Washington, D.C. metro area, retired, and moved to FL. I have acquired several tropical plants and the information in this book gave me tips to keep my tropical plants thriving.
