Poppies: The Poppy Family in the Wild and in Cultivation |
|
|
Poppies have become very popular in recent years. This book covers not only the true poppies, genus Papaver, but all the other members of the poppy family as well. This includes the horned poppies Glaucium, the tree poppies Dendromecon, the California poppies Eschscholzia, the desert poppies, Arctomecon, the prickly poppies Argemone, the pygmy poppies Canbya, the plumed poppies Macleaya, the blue poppies Meconopsis, the long fruited poppies Roemeria, and many more. Written by the editor of the Alpine Garden Society, the respected botanist and plant hunter Christopher Grey-Wilson, this is a book for experts and enthusiasts. The original edition was published in 1993; this volume brings in new information. The definitive work for experts; possibly too much information for dilettantes. | |
