Following the success of The Tropical Garden, the author and photographer combine forces again in this book devoted to the celebration of flowers and plants native to the tropics - plants that are now known and appreciated worldwide.

Tettoni’s meticulously observed photographs of exotic plants and flowers, showing them both in their garden settings and in close-up, are the perfect means of conveying the beauty and extraordinary diversity of tropical botany. With sections presenting flowering shrubs and annuals, foliage plants, ornamental trees, ornamental vines and creepers, palms, exotics, water plants, ground covers, ferns and orchids, Tropical Garden Plants is an irresistible and vivid compendium of some of the world’s most luxuriant and striking plants.

William Warren was born in the United States and has lived in Thailand since 1960. He is a passionate and knowledgeable gardener, and has designed several major gardens in Thailand and Hawaii.
