This review is from: World of Tropical Flowers (Paperback)

Alphabetized by family, each flowering plant entry includes the scientific and common names, origin, flowering season, toxicity if any, height, propagation, and a note of interest. Brevity limits the information, but the basics are covered. Includes a discussion of propagation methods, plant anatomy, and sketches. Indexed. For additional photos and information about a number of these plants, see Ornamental Plants & Flowers of Tropical Mexico.
