- catalog abstract ""Dan Hinkley's quest for distinctive plants has led him on dozens of expeditions, hunting plants from China, Korea, and Nepal to Chile and, closer to home, remote areas of North America. At Heronswood, his celebrated nursery on Puget Sound, these diverse species are among the more than 9000 plants growing in this plant mecca."--Jacket. "This book, illustrated with Hinkley's own photographs as well as those of Lynne Harrison, presents his choice of some of the most interesting perennials that he has found in the wilds or that friends have introduced him to. Here are his observations on choice plants, grouped by families, that may not be easily available but with a little effort can be found. He may tell of the excitement of first encountering a plant in its native habitat - he is certain to offer useful advice on the assets each plant brings to the garden and on how it is best cultivated and propagated."--Jacket.".
