Description:
Book description: 152pp. Hardcover with plastic covered d.w. Beautiful habitat depicting illustrations in b/w with color illustrations of the flowers throughout.
Book condition: Very good throughout!
Amazon book review: I ordered this book based on a recommendation from a friend. What a lovely book! The species descriptors are most informative as to habitat and preferred growing conditions, and the illustrations are wonderfully evocative of the environment in which each species grows which is definitely helpful a person who has never seen these irids growing in the wild. This book was worth every penny!
