[.ca] Rock Garden Plants: A Color Encyclopedia (ISBN 0881924326)

Very Beautiful Book:
Clearly a work of long effort and love, this magnificent volume shows what'you've always wanted to grow in your rock garden'...including some very rare, very astonishing plants. The only thing it seems to lack is a discussion of some of the finer points of culture of some of these gems, but if you've gotten to the point of growing some of them, well, you'll know.

Seeing is believing:
One of the most difficult parts of selecting rock garden plants is anticipating what they will look like in one's own rock garden. The pictures and descriptions in Baldassare Mineo's book are extraordinarily accurate, interesting and authoritative. We've seen Mineo's thrilling gardens and know that he understands his subject from the scree up! This book will become a classic.
