Tom,

The International Aroid Society has a hardiness zone map of Europe:

http://www.aroid.org/horticulture/zonemap/europe.html

It also has zone maps of China and Australasia:

http://www.aroid.org/horticulture/zonemap/

There is a similar map at:

http://www.marblenet.es/pjse/mapuse.htm

GardenWeb also has a European map that can be enlarged by individual
country:

The Canadian hardiness map is at:

http://map1.agr.ca/scripts/esrimap.dll?name=Plant&Cmd=Map&Lang=En

I believe these all are base upon the same criteria as the USDA map for the
USA.

The Australian National Arboretum has a zone map for Australasia:

http://www.anbg.gov.au/hort.research/zones.html

The Australian Bureau of Climatology publishes a Climate Classification Map
of Australia:

This is supplemented by an amazing array of other maps that provide a huge
amount of additional information based upon several different criteria.

http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/

Among them are animated maps showing rainfall sequences for almost all the
Twentieth Century.

I only wish we had something equivalent for this country! (or am I missing
something?  For this country, the Sunset zones are based on much more
detailed information:
