It is attractive enough to pick up, deep enough to take home, enthralling enough to take to bed, and by the morning light I wanted it to be mine forever." -R. William Thomas, American Gardener , September/October 2004, This man is a scientist and everything that he says is backed up by experience.

This book is a must for Dirr fans, and for those not yet exposed to his writing and photography, now is the time., Hydrangeas for American Gardeners is the ultimate reference.
