These enhanced aloes have never before had a book dedicated to them. Garden aloes is comprehensively illustrated with full-colour photographs that show the growth forms and a range of the characters that make these plants some of the most desirable to grow in any garden. Identification of the cultivars is made easy through descriptions and a range of images of the plants, their inflorescences and flowers.In the book: the book is comprehensively illustrated with over 300 full-colour photographs of the plants, growth forms, inflorescences and flowers, informative descriptions and flowering periods are provided for more than 60 widely grown and exceptional cultivars and hybrids currently available and the species are arranged in 20 groups according to size and flower colour, making it easy to select what is suitable for your garden. |
