Re: Perennials Encyclopedia

Title: Re: Perennials Encyclopedia
I've been thumbing through Botanica's Annuals and Perennials published by Laurel Glen.  It is a supplement to the huge Botanica which is one of my favorite references -- not strictly perennials but lots of perennials!  Take a look at those while you are doing your research...

Hi! I'm a lurker here and have been reading what you all have to say for
awhile now and learning a lot too I might add.   I just went into
Amazon.com to purchase an Encyclopedia of Perennials and found there are
several and a couple on back order.  Any recommendations as to which one
is best?

My husband and I are trying to recover from working soil and planting 4
large perennial beds this spring and summer and want to know all we can
about what we have and what we will be adding.

Encyclopedia of Perennials : A Gardener's Guide
                     by Christopher Woods

Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Perennials
                     by Ellen Phillips, C. Colston Burrell (Contributor)

Armitage's Garden Perennials : A Color Encyclopedia
                     by Allan M. Armitage

These three seem to be the major ones.   Which is best?  is there
another?

I have Perennial All-stars, which I love and also the Well Tended
Perennial garden.   I want to add an encyclopedia of perennials for my
fall and winter reading.

Thanks,
