Well written and wonderfully photographed! I really am enjoying this book. Careful instructions have taught me how to move from just growing my favorite flowers to actually propogating more plants on my own.

I checked this book out from the library first, to make sure it would be something I'd find useful. It's well written, covers everything I wanted to know, and is filled with absolutely gorgeous photographs. After taking several pages of notes, I realized that I would want to refer back to it in the future. Fortunately, there were copies available from other sellers -- I guess it must be out of print? Anyway, beautifully done book.

A good book but I would have prefer more information on how to care for the different varieties of carnations.
