This comprehensive, beautifully illustrated encyclopedia of plants contains information on more than 20,000 plants from all around the world. Organized in an A-Z format by botanical name, the individual entries provide a detailed description of each plant and its features, including notes on origin, cultivation requirements, growth habit, propagation, and pests and diseases. The introduction explains how the 12 climatic zones work and looks at the environment and the plants that grow in those zones.

Flora covers all the plant groups: trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials, bulbs, corms and tubers, cacti and succulents, lawns, ground covers, ornamental grasses, herbs, vegetables, fruit trees, other fruits, nut trees, palms and cycads, ferns, climbers and creepers, and orchids.

 Love this book May 2, 2008
Beautiful book that is accurate and has more hybrid species and cultivars than any other book I've seen. Too heavy to take to the nursery or school, but great for research or choosing plants for your yard.
Flora December 31, 2007
This is a biigg book with the name of hundreds of plants. It is interesting to skan & read. I like to know the official name of plants & this gives them. I like to garden & belong to a garden club so this helps me a lot. I can spend lots of time just looking. Good to have!
Worth the Price November 16, 2007
This is a wonderful two-volume reference. There are lots of pictures and far more complete information than most gardening books.
Planting July 23, 2007
