Book, what was it?(note: last email in set)

Q: Hi Ciscoe: I just saw your garden show on Channel 49 NW on 22 March, and you mentioned a plant book titled Flora. However I could not locate the title either on ABE's or Amaazon.com as there was insufficient Information to locate a copy. Could you provide a little mote information, such author(s) and perhaps publisher and date. The exact title would be of great benefit in reducing the search effort.

A: Sorry I should have given more info on these great books. It's a set of two books called 'Flora, A Gardener's Encyclopedia'. The Chief consultant is Sean Hogan from Cistus Nursery. It's a Timber Press book, and covers over 20,000 plants. It doesn't always give enough info on care, but it's about as good as any plant encyclopedia I know of. I've had my set a few years, and I've practically warn the cover off them. I don't know what they cost these days, but I paid about $100 for them. Maybe you could find them used at Powell's.
