Plants of Paradise Perfect Paperback – December 7, 2009
Robin Robinson (Author, Illustrator)
Robin Robinson, Master Gardener and horticultural columnist for the Key West Citizen, gives juicy details about the secret lives of Key West’s plants. If you want to learn titillating tidbits about the habits of plants and the insects that pollinate them, if you want to know why Plumeria is called Frangipani, which trees are dangerous or which plant is so randy its always having pups–read this book. Detailed articles and photographs from her weekly column in the Key West Citizen explore the plants that oxygenate the lush sub-tropical air. This is not a list of plants, but an adventure into their personalities.
