1 comments about Himalayan cobra-lilies (Arisaema): Their botany and culture.

1. I read this book a little while ago after becoming interested in Arisaema. The book explains about the past cultivation of these bulbs in their native area. It then describes the hardiness of the bulbs and the best places suited to growing the different varieties. There are tips on propogation also. The best bit of the book are the photographs of these wonderful plants. A must for anyone who has an interest in these bulbs.

1. This volume is one of several (about 10)that will make up a complete Flora of Illinois. Many volumes are available now, and a few wait to be published. The complete flora will include something nearing 3000 entries for individual species of this surprisingly diverse area of the county, with distribution maps specific to IL. Its entries are very readable, while including much information for characteristics and distribution, in addition to many line drawings that make it valuable for ID too.

1. Few may have heard of the John Tradescants, father and son of the late 1500s-1600s who worked for a series of patrons supervising some of the most notable gardens of the 17th century: Prudence Leith-Ross remedies this omission with The John Tradescants: Gardeners To The Rose And Lily Queen. Of particular interest to gardeners, besides the fascinating history and biographies of the two, are discussions of the plants introduced by them, with their original plant lists paired with modern botanical names.

1 comments about Ladybugs, Tiger Lilies and Wallflowers/a Gardener's Book of Words.

1. 'Ladybugs, Tiger Lilies' was not meant to be a comprehensive book. The tales of how plants got their names sometimes read like 'How the Leopard Got Its Spots' -- but Hendrickson's accounts are concise and punchy. The book can be used as a reference for the probable origin of many names, or as a splendid book to browse for any gardener or plant enthusiast. It is full of trivia of the most charming kind
