Book Description: Remarkable for the diversity of their striking foliage and distinctive forms, many bromeliads also produce brilliant inflorescences in glowing colors. They are highly desirable, low-maintenance indoor plants, and in subtropical and tropical areas they can be grown successfully outdoors. This book contains descriptions and cultivation information for hundreds of species and cultivars.
Wonderful book if you know Latin!: This is a great book for people who want to grow bromeliads at home. It has lots of information and lots of good photos. The only drawback is that the index is by Latin names and if you don't know the correct name you have to flip through the whole book and hope you find a photo.
Good bang for your buck book: Excellent color photographs and very informative, you cannot go wrong with this book if you are new or old to bromeliads.
Good Book: Its a good book for folks who want to plant bromeliads in their garden. It has an Australian slant to it, but the information can be used world-wide. Worth the read.
Bromeliads for the Contemporary Garden: .Very informative. .Excellent pictorial display .It would be one those books that you're proud to own.
Bromeliads - interesting plants: This is a gorgeous book. Even if you're not into tropical plants and master gardening, it is a wonderful book to just look through. As in "coffetable" book. But it is very definitive - as far as thousands of genus can be. It goes into the history of bromeliads and how they are constantly being hybred. I purchased this book for a friend who has a nice collection of the plants and needed to identify some of them. I was very reluctant to let it go and am thinking of buying one for myself.
