House-plants from A to Z; the best plants for a beautiful home, design ideas for every room and location.
Location is not just crucial to real estate; as the introduction discussing the cultural needs of plants makes clear, gardeners can benefit from an understanding of how to place plants in the right location. German garden writers present colorfully-illustrated profiles of some 200 of the most popular houseplants (including camellias!) and design tips. A glossary is included. The compact guide was originally published in 2005 under the title Zimmerplanzen von A bis Z by Gräfe und Unzer Verlag GmbH, Munich. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
