Book Description
About the Author
William Warren is well known as a garden expert in Bangkok, where he has lived for many years; his familiarity with plants that flourish in hot climates extends to Singapore, Malaysia, Burma, Indonesia, and the Hawaiian Islands. He
also has detailed knowledge of the tropical varieties that are suitable for cultivation in the United States, Europe, and other nontropical areas. Luca Invernizzi Tettoni is one of the world's leading photographers of gardens and their
plants.
Product Description:
The author and photographer of The Tropical Garden, first published by Thames and Hudson in 1991, combine forces again in this book devoted to the presentation of flowers and plants native to the tropical area of
the world--plants that are now also widely appreciated and cultivated in America. Tropical Plants is divided into flowering shrubs and annuals, foliage plants, ornamental trees, ornamental vines and creepers, palms and palm-like plants, exotics, water
plants, ground covers, ferns and fernlike plants, and orchids. It functions as a guide, an aid to identification, and a horticultural survey. Tettoni's remarkable photography of plants and flowers meticulously observed and documented is the perfect
instrument for capturing the beauty of plants and their backgrounds.
