Good source of information on plants.

This book is loaded with lots of pictures and information on various plants. They are even broken down into color groups. Has both common and scientic name, along with a color picture for easy identification of flowers.

Great gift for a gardener!

This large, beautiful, hardcover book makes me happy just looking at it! It is bright and pretty on the outside and full of lovely photographs and helpful information on the inside. At the time of this review, it is at a great price, too! It has many features which make it user-friendly, such as a breakdown of flowers by color, type of plant (tree, shrub, perennial, etc.), and a common names index. Mary Moody has done a nice job!

Lovely photographs, well written and a pleasure to peruse.

I confess to having become a snob when it comes to gardening books and magazines. The English publications seem so much better than the American ones; however, this book is an exception to that rule. It is well written, includes many fine photographs and - most importantly, for me, at least - has a good selection of unusual plants and their requirements. I highly recommend this book - and at its special price, it is a phenomenal value.

Creating a secret garden is no secret.

Anyone from novice to expert can use this book to create their own magical getaway that will continue to bloom and captivate for years to come. The Encyclopedia of Flowers helps you to plan your garden layout, then gives you advice for the proper care of the plants that you select.Buy one for yourself and one for someone you care about that would benefit from their own secret garden.

Wonderful Book

Beautifully illustrated, an exceptional book for every gardener. Lots of species covered. It would be an ideal book for an avid gardener or just a great gift for the ordinary gardener
