Exotic Planting For Adventurous Gardeners, by Christopher Lloyd (Timber Press 2007)(635.90941) This book was full of pretty pictures, but it was more a paean to Christopher Lloyd than a book about gardening "how to." 3.55/10, finished 4/29/11.
I love the many gorgeous photos and the text shows a clear love of botanicals, but is so unuseful for me (huge budget, British climate) that I can't even bear to read some of it. It gives advice that I simply can't follow, and isn't enough fun to read to make it worth reading just for the joy of it. Mostly I just want to drink in the brilliant landscapes and tropical plantings while I huddle indoors here in the mid-February New England snow.
