On May 2, 2005, mariajose wrote: This book is outstanding in many aspects. First and foremost it is beautiful and interesting, like its subject, the Paeonia. Chock full of all the information I was seeking, with 143 beautiful glossy photographs. Rogers discusses the history, myths, magic and medicine of peonies as well as the culture and propogation, nurseries that provide rare cultivars, a discussion of important hybridizers, past and present, and advice regarding commercial growing.
I was particularly interested in Tree Peony cultivars and he did not disappoint and I greatly appreciated the sections of the book devoted to what we may expect from hybridizers in the near future. Written in the warm manner of a person who is both passionate and knowledgeable, this book is a gem. |
