RHS Latin For Gardeners
RHS Latin for Gardeners is an informative entertaining and beautifully illustrated unraveling of the mysteries of botanical Latin. Over 3 000 Latin names are listed alphabetically showing how plant names can reveal where a plant originally comes from (and thus its preferred growing conditions) along with such properties as its shape form colour taste and smell. Each name is clearly defined and accompanied by a pronunciation guide and the pages are filled with attractive botanical illustrations. Fascinating feature spreads retell the adventures of important plant hunters such as Sir Joseph Banks and Alexander von Humboldt and explain how their discoveries affect the way our gardens look today. Individual plants are also profiled throughout showing how their names can illuminate their hidden
histories. Aided by this book every gardener and their garden will benefit from uncovering the wealth of information that lies within the remarkable world of Latin binomials. A little Latin can do a lot of good - apply the lore of Latin to your own garden!
