A pleasant surprise!!

I wasn't expecting great things with this book but I was really pleased with it after flicking through it for the first time. I had already purchased 'The New Exotic Garden' and 'Big Leaves For Exotic Effect' and was quite disappointed with both of these so I was expecting the same kind of thing again but with a different cover. However, I value this book as much as the books on tropical gardens by William Warren which are fantastic. I find the pictures in this book very clear and inspirational and the text is very informative and, above all, accurate. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for ideas to create their own tropical garden. It features plants that are quite different from other books and some really good, original planting schemes to recreate. I have given this book 5 stars because I think it is a really good effort and not just another cheaply done, churned out, mass publication. I own roughly a dozen books on tropical gardening and this is one of the top six in my opinion.
