I found this book at Chapters last week. It was 6.99 in the bargin section, so a no brainer for me considering the beautiful photography as well.
Its a really great compendium of non-flowering plants. About 1/3 of the plants are Zone 4 or less. The book is all about gardening with texture and colour in mind.
There are a few sections each focusing on a specific colour of plant; Gold, Red to Black, Silver/Grey/Blue, and Multi-coloured.
These sections are then further separated into the different kinds of leaves with these colours; Spiky, Bold, Medium, Fine and Lacy foliage. Therefor each colour section has its own compendium of plants specific to that pallett.
Its very easy to use. I highly recommend adding this one to the gardening library.
