Book Review: 1001 Pelargoniums
1001 Pelargoniums
Author: Hazel Key
Photos: Martin Ambery-Smith
Publisher: B.T. Batsford, London
184 PagesThis book is mostly a picture book but, oh, what pictures! Each chapter has a brief introduction neatly defining which Pelargoniums belong in that group. Each picture is captioned with the Pelargonium name and a short description. This book makes a nice 'coffee table book'. You can spend five minutes with it or an hour. It is also very useful for Pelargonium lovers to help them develop an understanding of the various types of plants that make up this wonderful genus.
