pages, 620 colour photographs. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] This colourful book is a testament to the hybridizing work carried out over more than thirty years by Margaret Paterson, and is a must-buy for anyone interested in cultivated neoregelias. More than 600 colour photos speak for themselves. The book is organized well, with hybrids grouped in series (such as the "Red Planet Series" and the "Love Series") and notes on parentage, selection reasons, and naming reasons. There are some notes on cultivation and environmental effects on plant colour. There is a nicely laid out index that shows not only the name of each plant illustrated and its page number but also the date of crossing, seed and pollen parents. Publication is a family effort with Margaret responsible for the plants and husband Bill taking the photos and registering the cultivars. Cost (including shipping) Australian dollars) $34.99 in Australia, $41.99 other countries.
