Page after page of inspiring photographs show how such plants can suggest a tropical atmosphere, capturing the admiration of anyone whose eye sweeps over them. The book includes a discussion of the characteristics of bold plants and the settings most hospitable to them; a directory of the best exotics, such as tree ferns, agaves, and eryngiums, to name just a few of the one hundred examples listed; as well as practical tips on plant care, propagation, and maintenance.
