Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Species tulips are becoming more widely available as gardeners wake up to their elegant shapes, vibrant-colored flowers, and suitability for growing in containers, raised beds, and rock gardens. Unlike garden hybrids, species tulips will flower each year without being replaced and will even colonize under the right conditions. Wilford's experience of growing tulips at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, informs his excellent cultivation advice. Comprehensive descriptions of gardenworthy species and lesser-known rarities will appeal to tulip and bulb collectors, rock garden enthusiasts, and keen gardeners, inspiring closer investigation of this increasingly popular plant group.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Painting flowers has long been popular with artists, and there have been many books written on the subject. What makes this book different is the author's naturalistic approach to painting. The resulting watercolors are botanically correct but also show the beauty of flowers in a very real way - the velvety quality of a petal, the delicate colors, the gloss of a leaf.In this book, Coral G. Guest talks about how best to achieve not only the colors but also the textures and shadings that are so important in painting flowers. She has chosen a wide variety of plants, and in a series of illustrations shows how - step by step - she has developed each painting. The result is a most inspirational and stunning guide for any artist wanting to make his or her paintings look more natural.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Mirro, Angela (illustrator). First Edition. This book is the first to take an in-depth look at the many gorgeous hybrids that have been made by combining Vanda species and hybrids with other related genera in the Sarcanthinae subtribe, which includes Aerides, Arachnis, Ascocentrum, Neofinetia, Paraphalaenopsis, Phalaenopsis, Renanthera, Rhynchostylis, and Vandopsis, as well as Vanda, and provides detailed information on how to grow these magnificent plants.The book is divided into two main sections. Part One traces the evolution of today's Vanda and Ascocenda hybrids, and examines the combinations of these with other genera. The first section also includes a discussion of the role of chromosomes and genes in the transmission of traits, and the flower quality standards used by orchid judges. Because the genus Ascocentrum has been the most frequent and popular partner in intergeneric combinations with vandas, this genus and the resulting hybrid genus Ascocenda are given separate and more extensive coverage.Part Two provides a detailed reference manual for plant selection, environmental requirements, and successful cultivation. Included in the book and of particular interest to readers not well versed in the peculiarities of orchid classification and nomenclature is "A Guide to Orchid Classification and Nomenclature" in Appendix A.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. With a sound basis in science and a practical grounding in gardening experience, Grissell seeks to introduce the reader to insect biology and the role of insects in garden ecology. He describes the various orders of insects the gardener is likely to encounter, and writes knowledgeably about how insects grow, feed, and reproduce. Unlike other books on insects for gardeners, this is not a handbook on how to recognize and eliminate "pests." Instead, Insects and Gardens casts a more appreciative eye on the doings of the class Insecta and seeks to find a middle ground in which both humankind and insectkind can share the garden to mutual benefit. No absolute purist, however, Grisell guiltily confesses to having broken down and used pesticides in desperation more than once. Gardeners will find here a companionable friend with high ideals rather than an unyielding taskmaster.More than one hundred of Carll Goodpasture's remarkable color photographs reveal the captivating beauty and vital energy that insects bring to the garden, and illuminate the intricacies of interdependence that characterize a garden's ecology. Even the most "bug-hating" gardener cannot fail to be moved by a gulf-fritillary sipping nectar on a passion flower or a colorful scorpionfly camouflaged on a leaf.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. No group of plants attracts a more passionate following than the tenacious miniatures that seem most at home clinging to the rocky faces of alpine slopes. More than half a century ago, enthusiasm for these plants, which brighten even arid prairie landscapes and boggy coastal barrens, inspired a small band of gardeners to form the American Rock Garden Society (now the North American Rock Garden Society). Soon thereafter, the group began publishing a journal devoted to rock garden plants in the wild and in cultivation.This anthology gathers the best of the journal's writings from those first 50 years. The North American continent is one of the world's great storehouses of connoisseurs' treasures - the home of Penstemon and Phlox as well as of many choice species in genera as diverse as Aquilegium and Trillium - so it seemed entirely appropriate to make American natives the theme of this collection.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Even a relatively small garden is a miniature ecosystem. It includes a surprising diversity of organisms that interact in a myriad of ways. Some are permanent residents, others come and go in search of a meal or a mate. An insect feeding on a garden plant is simultaneously hunted by predators and weakened by parasites; it competes with other herbivores for choice food plants; it is hindered in its feeding by the plants' chemical and physical defenses; and it challenges other members of its species for the best mates and locations for egg-laying. Ecologists Carroll and Salt argue that the more completely we understand these interactions, the better gardeners we become. The authors cite hundreds of examples drawn from personal experience and from literature on gardening and ecology.

All who work with fibre crafts, as well as botanists, whether amateur or professional, will welcome this clear account of a wide range of plants from which natural dyes can be obtained. John and Margaret Cannon, both professional botanists, have selected forty-eight plants from different parts of the world and describe the structure and cultivation of each, its history as a dye source and the best method for its use based on their own experiments.Most well-known dye plants are included, among them elderberry, henna, indigo, madder and saffron, and each plant is beautifully illustrated by Gretel Dalby-Quenet, a skilled botanical artist, in a full-page painting that also shows the colours the plant can yield. A general chapter on dyestuffs and mordants, a short section of notes for teachers, a checklist of scientific plant names and a glossary help to make this a particularly practical and valuable book both for experimental craft workers and teachers, and for beginners in dyeing, spinning and weaving.
