ok, I belong to three plant lists and you've finally convinced me I need to learn the latin names. I didn't think I'd ever care but you have a convert.:) So now the question is books. I went to Barnes and Noble tonight and found a couple that were pricy but nice and I'd like opinions. One was a huge copy of Taylors. Lots of pictures lots of names. I like it. The other was The American Hort Encyclopidia. Again pricey but I thought neat. Lots of pictures to go with the latin and common names. For me personaly I think I would get more out of learning these if I could associate it with pictures of plants. Especially in the cases of the plants I'm already familur with. Does anyone have any other suggestion? Any comments on the two books I did find? Any comments greatfully welcome. Robin robin@jetcity.com
