This is basically a picture book
of more than 1900 flowering shrubs, each with one or more
gorgeous full-color photographs taken by the authors.
Most of the photographs show the plants blooming in the
wild or in nurseries. The brief text with each entry
includes origin; habitat; flowering season; habit;
hardiness; and growing conditions. There's a list of mail
order nurseries and shrub gardens open to the public in
Europe, Australia and the United States. This is a
handsome coffee-table book, and one that you can open
anywhere and just browse through the stunning beauty of
the world's flowering shrubs.
