Tropica - An intriguing pictorial reference with 7,000 illustrations showing virtually all of the important cultivated plants originating in tropical and subtropical climates, arranged by families. These are grown outdoors or on the patio in warm regions, or may be taken indoors in colder climates, at least during winter time. A special feature is a section on tropical and subtropical fruit. Interspersed habitat photos will make browsing through these pages both educational and pleasurable experience.
Hortica - Unparalleled in its comprehensiveness, Hortica brings together a kaleidoscope of 8,100 full color photographs and detailed descriptions of more than 10,000 ornamental plants for indoors and for every climate worldwide. Each plant entry includes information on mature height, hardiness zones, the native range of the plant, leaf and flower shape and color, bloom times, and any other ornamental features the plant may have, fruit, cones, autumn color, decorative bark.
