Download or read book Alpine Flowers written by Gillian Price and published by Cicerone Press Limited. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pocket field guide to identifying 230 common Alpine flowers is packed with all the information you need to recognise your favourites while out in the mountains. Designed for the non-specialist, this little handbook is arranged by colour and also includes a glossary of flower parts and an introduction which describes the amazing lengths that these tiny gems go to to survive at altitude. Alpine expert author Gillian Price says: 'It never ceases to amaze me that such tiny plants can spend months on end buried under metres of snow and ice - weathering temperatures as low as minus 25°C - then sprout back to life when things thaw out and warm up. In springtime you can spot the fragile purple petals of the Alpine Snowbell pushing their way through snow - they contain an anti-freeze that enables them to melt it. Masters of adaptation and survival, alpine flowers can trap insects, store precious water, expel excess minerals and fool insects.' Each flower entry includes a clear photograph and essential description along with its name in English, Latin, German, French and Italian and interesting information about the origins of some of the more curious flower names. Each one is also indexed by its English and its Latin name so you can follow up a hunch about a name or find out more about a flower.

Download or read book Alpine Flowers for Gardens written by W. Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alpine Flowers for Gardens: Rock, Wall, Marsh Plants, and Mountain Shrubs This book is written to dispel a general but erroneous idea, that the plants of alpine regions cannot be grown in gardens. This idea is not confined to the general public; it has been taught by botanists and horticulturists whenever they have had to speak of alpine plants, while the alpine traveller has regretted that we could not enjoy in our gardens these most charming of flowers. The late Duke of Argyll, presiding some years ago at the dinner of the Gardeners' Benevolent Institution, told the company that, though they had overcome almost every difficulty of cultivation, they were beaten by one - that of growing alpine plants. Any reader of this book may prove for himself that this idea is a baseless one; and that, so far from its being true that these plants cannot be cultivated, there is no alpine flower that ever cheered the traveller's eye which cannot be grown in our island gardens. Instead of being very difficult, they will be found to be among the most easily cultivated of all plants, especially to those who begin modestly and avoid the ugly extravagance of artificial "rocks."
