Conservatory and Indoor Plants Vol. 1 by Martyn Rix
In the stunning Conservatory and Indoor Plants Volume 1 can be found well over 1,100 plants that will brighten the window sills, porches, greenhouses and conservatories of plant lovers, many of which can be moved on to the terrace or into the garden in the warmer months. Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix, using their world famous skills and authority, have combed the world to bring together the most attractive and suitable species for our delight. In this volume you will find camellias, magnolias, poppies, hibiscus, roses and pelargoniums to name but a few. The text and illustrations are arranged in botanical order and give information on size, colour, soil conditions and flowering times to enable you to select the plants that will make your conservatory or inside area as beautiful as possible all year round.In 1975 Roger Phillips began his life’s major work of photographing and publishing pictures of the world’s garden plants. He set out to develop an encyclopedic collection of books to show the difference between plants as diverse as mosses, roses and annuals. His first book, Wild Flowers of Britain (1977), was a huge success, selling 400,000 copies in the first year. He has since written numerous additional volumes (often with his co-author Martyn Rix) selling over six million copies worldwide. Roger has written and presented two major six-part TV series on gardening (BBC & Channel 4). Famed for his ebullient personality and garish red glasses, he has become a well-recognized figure in the world of gardening.
Martyn Rix is a leading botanist, plant collector, gardener, independent botanical advisor and writer. Rix has traveled throughout the world to collect and photograph wild plants. He and award-winning photographer Roger Phillips have collaborated on over twenty-five books such as Roses and Vegetables.
