Great book on Lesser Known Clematis

There are loads of books out there that cover the large and showy garden clematis, but far fewer that discuss the generally smaller-flowered (though equally spectacular), and to me far more interesting, species. This book is a wealth of botanical and cultural information as to species which are almost always passed over or treated cursorily elsewhere. If nothing else, the photos are great to have. If you are looking to broaden your knowledge of the grand diversity of the plant world or thinking of adding something to your garden that beautifully shows of your great good taste and discernment and is generally more graceful, more refined and more subtle then that vine that all your neighbors have clambering over their mailboxes, you should explore this book. Highly recommended.
