Excellent book for dried flower grower

An excellent reference book that deals with each individual plant that you can grow and dry. It offers growing and harvesting and drying tips on each plant. This is very useful to ensure you harvest at the right time for each plant. Not every plant text has an accompanying photo however so you need to know what the plant is before you use the book. It also gives some nice layout suggestions for planting a flower bed to make the most of the plants in their setting before you harvest them. There is a nice section on drying techniques. It is a very good book for anyone who wants to grow and dry a few to many acres of plants.
