A Book of Blue Flowers

"Gather together a group of eager gardeners, and a voluble discussion about the color blue has been known to follow. Geneve's handbook addresses the types of color issues that interest garden planners and curious gardeners alike; from systems used to classify colors, to relationships within plant families and the technical aspects of the color blue as manifested in flowers. On an aesthetic level, Geneve looks at the ornamental value of blue porcelain berry, hosta foliage, and the needles on blue-hued conifers to exemplify the flora that can enhance our gardens. An alphabetical listing--by genus--makes up the greater part of the book. Entries encompass a wealth of easy-to-obtain plants, along with less-common selections. Beautiful color photographs illustrate Geneve's handsome, highly accessible resource, offering valuable guidance and lots of ideas for gardeners of all levels." --Alice Joyce, Booklist.
