Dream Plants for the Natural Garden
By Hank Geiritsen and Piet Oudlf
Although this book is not 100% applicable to our climate conditions, I enjoyed it. For example, his comment about Guara being not dependable is not the case for us. I've found Guara to be quite dependable in our zone. This book is informative in that it introduces you to many different types of wonderful flowering plants that you would not know about or consider. It's easy to read and the chapters are divided into categories based upon plant habits and characteristics. Hank Geiritsen and Piet Oudlf are herbaceous perennial gardeners that have a great love for flowers and grasses.

Factoids:
"Be still my soul. Consider
the flowers and the stars.
Among these sleeping fragrances,
Sleep now your cares.
That which the universe
Lacks room to enclose
Lives in the folded petals
Of this dark red rose."
(Gerald Bullett)
