Amazon.com Review:
Why settle for phlox if you can have heliconia? If you want to make your garden and patio a showplace of dramatic exotics such as bromeliads and orchids, this book is the perfect starting point. Jack Kramer, a well-known orchid specialist, begins with the basics: climate zones, garden types and planning, and basic techniques. Houseplants have their own section covering soil, light, temperature, watering, and feeding. The real value of the book is in the discusion (and incredible pictures) of various plant families (amaryllis, arum, banana, begonia, bromeliad, cactus, nepenthes, gesneriad, ginger, lily, and orchid) and their general characteristics and needs. Browse through this excellent book in the winter and plan for spring.
