I usually look for the best looking copy of used book, but I knew I had something special as soon as I flipped through the first couple of pages. $5.98 well spent. Maybe I will add my own entries and one day the book will find its way into the hands of someone else with an appreciation of the prairies. Or maybe I will just add a link to this site.<br /><br />Toni, I don’t know why, but I think it was a woman too. I did not find any new plants in the book that woud grow in my prairie, however there are several plants of the northern prairies that I found interesting.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-80753554998498926122012-01-12T17:24:12.834-06:002012-01-12T17:24:12.834-06:00What a great book for you :-) Did you find any pl...What a great book for you :-) Did you find any plants that the previous owner had listed that you don't have in your garden that you'd like to try?

It's not just a reference book anymore...but a tome of a link-minded individual as well. Love all the quotes...anything by Dickinson gets me where it counts...she had an especially sympathetic spirit. I love the drawings showing the root structure of the plants...I'm always been amazed by that aspect of prairie plants. I have one book about urban prairies that has a chart of dozens of plants and their above and below-ground structure...it's AMAZING!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-37191458022135809662012-01-09T09:27:47.077-06:002012-01-09T09:27:47.077-06:00A wonderful treasure certainly fell into the right...A wonderful treasure certainly fell into the right hands.
