David R Godine 2006 1567923127 / 9781567923124 Hardcover Fine Fine Hardcover
New. Fine in publisher's quarter bound boards in like dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.From Booklist: Brown's entertaining homage to the majestic rhododendron provides a voluminous exploration of the development and significance of this lusciously romantic and elegantly exotic garden gem. With a color palette ranging from dramatic purples to ethereal pastels, these denizens of American swamps and African jungles are equally at home clinging to remote Himalayan mountaintops and craggy Asian coastlines. Encompassing more than a thousand species, rhododendrons exude an undeniable mystique that has historically captivated both commoners and kings, whose desire for increasingly impressive examples initiated voyages of plant discovery that provided the foundation for some of the world's most renowned arboretums. In many ways, the evolution of the rhododendron from alien specimen to garden center staple mirrors the arc of Western civilization itself. Brimming with lively anecdotes involving many of horticulture's most revered individuals and institutions, Brown's history of the genus rhododendron is ecumenical in approach yet accessible in style.
