Good review, Billy. If I don't win this book through your blog, then it's going on my Christmas list. Your discussion of colors and textures have helped me recognize a very poor choice in my own garden - a few months ago, I planted marigolds in my purple, lavendar, magenta and sea-green garden. Do I hear the Billy Goodnick scream?! It's terrible. BUT having learned a little something along the way, I just planted a bed of cyclamen in an east-facing bed on the driveway. It integrates perfectly with the rest of the garden. NOW I really get what you mean about colors and textures. The marigolds have to go.
