Reviews"I cannot omit a mention of twenty-seven pages of glorious color photos, as well as the many informative and delightful sketches scattered throughout the pages. The 'begoniac' should add this fine work to his/her library."--Phyllis Podren, Hobby Greenhouse, June 19, 2006, In an age when gardening books brim with ankle-deep information, "Begonias" is a whole-body experience. If you like begonias, this book has the power to make you fall in love with them. -- Elvin McDonald "American Gardener" (03/01/2006), I cannot omit a mention of twenty-seven pages of glorious color photos, as well as the many informative and delightful sketches scattered throughout the pages. The 'begoniac' should add this fine work to his/her library. -- Phyllis Podren "Hobby Greenhouse" (06/19/2006), Tebbitt ... makes a welcome addition to the horticultural literature with this work, particularly because it concentrates on species rather than hybrids, and description rather than cultivation. ... Over 200 color photos and numerous high-quality line drawings add to the appeal and utility of this work. -- G. D. Dreyer "Choice" (02/01/2006), "Begonias" is a book written by a sincere and knowledgeable lover of this diverse genus of perennial with their fabulous blooms -- it will be a long-lasting addition to any gardener's library. -- Christine Anne Sharkey "Biology Digest" (02/01/2006), This book is important, as it has concise descriptions, illustrations, and cultural history. -- Linda Cobb "Spartanburg Herald-Journal" (09/27/2005)
