With this book you will be able to recognize patterns in plants everywhere you go in the wild, in your garden, among house plants, even at the florist. Understand the magic of patterns among plants, and the world will never look the same again! ...
Very informative, great illustrations. This book has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking about plants. I love to research what I'm growing or just what's already growing around me.
A must have for any gardeners library, especially those just begining.
I love this book. It's almost like taking a botany course.
It starts out with a tutorial on plant names, classifications and the evolution of plants in order to give us some background information on how plants are related to each other, and how they have been sorted based on their relationships. It covers profiling flowers and plants to find the family they belong to. The second part of this book is a reference guide for several plant families.
