PASSIONFLOWERS –  Comprehensive and scientifically accurate, this survey of the genus Passiflora is the first reference book on passionflowers published in more than 15 years and the only pictorial reference guide of its kind. Completed by renowned Passiflora authority, Ronald Boender, together with John MacDougal, Ph.D., and John Vanderplank, Ph.D. comprehensively highlights the breadth and beauty of the species occurring in the wild.

The author also has included 11 special hybrids that he personally produced, represents the culmination of the author’s 30-year fascination with this exotic genus and his more than 120 trips to Costa Rica and Ecuador observing and collecting the vines. Most of the species shown are tropical, warmth-loving plants that the author grows in the gardens of his Florida facility. Lavish contributions by 27 other photographers expand the photographic atlas to other climates, including cool-loving Andean species.

Its arrival eagerly awaited by tens of thousands of gardeners and enthusiasts.
