This book was an interesting read and there were gorgeous photographs. The growing tips were a little sparse for a beginner. There are 2 pages of tips and then each box in the margin with a difficulty rating, indoor vs. outdoor light, hardiness, moisture and growing medium. I mostly ignored the growing tips and enjoyed reading about these unusual plants.
Lovely little collection of some seriously odd botanicals. The forward is by famous nurseryman Tony Avent, which is always a good sign.
The small collection of facts about each nicely photographed plant left me wanting more. There were plenty of plants I recognized, and several that I've grown- and for those, the cultivation notes seemed right on. The tone is folksy and accessible- it read at a middle-grade level. If I were a school librarian, I'd be certain to buy this book.
