... Especially handy book to learn the language of plants. It helped me a lot in my plants vegetate purchases for my terrace. For each word to a very precise meaning in the choice of color, shape and even the place. There are so many anecdotes and complex terms you quickly not to assimilate the early chapters. We need to try several times to read, hence the importance of taking notes. (The book is filled with small pieces of paper scribbled annotations!). But it is quite normal: It is learning a new language anyway.
