Thanks Esh, I would be very interested in knowing so I could get myself and a neighbor friend a copy. What I'd really like to see is something "different". I have a handful of garden books that focus on natives, most aren't so much about gardens, but more about plants in general - so I'm glad to see one about gardens....but I'd also like to see something a little bit different. So far most of the gardening books have focused purely on a more "southern" style of garden (lots of spring, not much summer). There are tons of native plants that do very nicely here but aren't always considered garden plants - however they surely can be. I'm thinking of the cup plant. It's ginormous (especially this year, up past 11 feet now!!!) but stunning and long blooming in the garden.

GGG -- is the cup plant that crazy, dinosaur plant I see around? It almost looks like a cross between some sort of squash and a sunflower -- but no flower? I have often wondered what it was and thought it was super-cool! I've never seen a bloom.
