This is a useful list of plants. Each paragraph includes pretty much all the info you would find on a seed package, plus pronunciation. Index is good. Plants in order by scientific name. Tips for water-wise gardening and explanation of difference between heat zones and typical plant hardiness map are at the beginning. I wish every flower entry had info about blooming season.

Better for scoal gardeners than the traditional 'hardiness' charts. Yeah, I am not worried about frost, man.
