Customer Reviews
Excellent, thorough guide, but flip pages are hard to deal with
Everything you need to know to successfully grow desert flowers, with hundreds featured. Maybe it's me, but the small, separated flip pages featuring each flower are really hard to maneuver. I've yet to figure out why this page style was chosen. Has beautiful illustrations. A must-have book for any Arizona low desert gardener.
