Garden Flowers from Seed is unlike any gardening book you've ever read before. Here is a dialogue between two famous -- and opinonated -- garden experts: Christopher Lloyd and Graham Rice. They offer valuable advice on which seed-raised flowers to grow, how to germinate and tend to them, and how to make the best of them in the garden. More than 230 genera are discussed, including thousands of annual and perennial plants. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don't; they interrupt each other when they feel it's necessary. The result is a witty, urbane and thoroughly informative book for any gardener who raises plants from seed.
I love this book, and tuck into it time and time again.
it's like sitting in, eavesdropping in on a conversation by two old timers sitting in a garden shed
You get the old and the new views on doing things.
Christopher Lloyd has a fantastic dry wit ,and no holds barred view to certain things, which makes this book enlightening and amusing to read.
