5 out of 5 stars Heliconia: by Fred Berry.......2006-06-21

I've been trying to order this book for over 5 months with continuous delays. I'm not sure that amazon is ever able to
actually procure this book which is excellent.

5 out of 5 stars enlightening.......2002-05-02

No other book is more explicit on identifying heliconias, It is the best on the subject and should be used as a guide for other to further explain botanical subjects, on this or another species of plants.

5 out of 5 stars The Guide!!.......2001-07-17

Excellent book. Great help in cultivating and identifying Heliconia. Wish some commercial growers would read this then label their plants accordingly. One can only hope for a ginger book in the future.

5 out of 5 stars Great book for growers and lovers of exotic flowers........1999-10-04

I grow heliconias and some other tropical plants. It's become very difficult to identify them since they are known to many names all over the world. Berry and Kress are very clever suggesting to use thier classification and popular names so everybody would understand what others are talking about.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Field Guide!!.......1999-09-09

I live in El Salvador, Central America, and love to collect different varieties of plants, especially heliconias, in the wilderness. This book has been an excellent guide for identifying the various species of Heliconias that I encounter. The photographs are great too!!
