A complete and thorough update for a successful guide, originally reprinted nine times. An authoritative guide to success with these supposedly difficult plants, with clear, practical advice from Britain's leading African Violet specialist. Completely free of technical jargon, and illustrated with superb colour photographs, African Violets will fire would-be collectors with enthusiasm and give encouragement to those who have previously found them difficult to grow.
If you want to know all there is to know about raising and growing African Violets, this is the book to go for. It has everything - but doesn't endow the reader with green fingers sadly. They are devilishly difficult to propogate and grow in the home, but if you succeed, they are incredibly beautiful.
This book was written quite awhile ago, and much is outdated. But A. violets are still A. violets, and his advice on their care is sound. A good book to read, especially since there don't seem to be very many other books about A. violets out there.
