520 $aStirling Macoboy's 'What Flower is That?' is the bible of temperate-climate gardeners in English-speaking countries and the world's favourite flower book. The climatic range of this A to Z guide for flowering plants has been extended to encompass the cooler areas of Europe and North America, and the tropical lands to Australia's north, and through central America and Africa. All the popular old-time plants are now mingled with exotic and often strikingly beautiful flowers from every continent, and from holiday islands all over the globe. This new version includes a comprehensive glossary, and a special illustrated section classifying the included flowers into botanical families, as important an aid to the enthusiastic home gardener as it is to the amateur botanist. This marvellous book includes over 1600 colour plates to illustrate 1030 plant genera within 157 botanical families. The practical information is immense: every entry fully describes the type of soil and growing conditions the plant requires, its ideal temperature range, the varieties available, how and when it is propagated, how much water and fertilizer it needs and its advantages and disadvantages for the home garden. A vast index includes both botanical and popular names for all included plants in over 6000 entries, helping the reader locate flowers he may only remember by some old or uncommon epithet. All entries include metric conversions, phonetic pronunciations and up to date botanical nomenclature to bring the book into the 21st century. The imagination and delight with which Stirling Macoboy explores the fascinating world of flowers makes his 'What Flower is That?' not only informative, but essential for every enthusiast who wishes to achieve the full potential of his or her home garden.
