Dear all; I just got my copy of this delightful book by Veronica Read, the National Collection holder. I don't recall any mention on this list. It is a joint Timber Press/RHS publication from earlier this year. I admit not having read much more than the Table of Contents and a few pages. The photo section was a revelation to me. An enormous number of interesting selections and hybrids in the horticultural world. I fear severe Hippeastrum lust developing. Perhaps the need for a group order of mini-hybrids from Miyake Nursery in Japan (to paraphrase Homer Simpson " Drool"). I hope someone knowledgeable about this group and this book will respond with intelligent comments. I am blinded by the glory. Maybe a group discount might be arranged too. More later as my head stops spinning. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick Near KCI Airport Kansas City Missouri 64152-2711 USA Ph. 816-746-1949 Zone 5 Record low -23F Summer 100F +
