Columbines: Aquilegia  Paraquilegia  and Semiaquilegia is the first gardeners guide to these striking plants in more than half a century; and in his funny  personal  and charming prose  Nold makes sense of the thorniest taxonomic and horticultural questions they present. Sixty-five species of Aquilegia receive detailed examination  with a complete summary of cultivation needs  history  and biology. The author also describes plants of the genera Semiaquilegia and Paraquilegia  cutting through confusion and dissension to create a useful overview of these \"columbine cousins.\" Nold also provides a brief history of hybridization  and practical chapters on propagation and pests and diseases round out the book. In addition to beautiful paintings by the authors wife  celebrated botanical artist Cindy Nelson-Nold  the book also boasts several dozen exquisite photos of columbines in the wild and in gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648121069621,"sku":"ByrdShop_0881925888","price":24.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780881925883.jpg?v=1781709889","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/columbines-aquilegia-paraquilegia-and-semiaquilegia-9780881925883","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
