Product Description
Botanica is the universal standard work for garden enthusiasts and botanists alike. The collaboration of a team of international experts has resulted in a reference work that illustrates the rich diversity of our flora with a myriad of indigenous and exotic plants. More than 10,000 genera and species - from Abelia to Zygopetalum - are clearly presented in a well organized manner.
Reader ReviewsI own dozens of gardening books, but this is the one I turn to most often. It is a gorgeous, thorough, accurate, detailed encyclopedia of plants. It is organized by botanical names, but the common name index can guide you quickly to what you need. The book also has brief sections on hardiness zones and on the major plant groups, e.g., annuals, fruit trees, evergreens, herbs, lawns, etc. It's full of outstanding pictures, and makes a handsome coffee-table book. If you're looking for a gift for a gardener, this is it.
