Rhododendron

Richard Milne explores the many ways in which rhododendrons have influenced human societies, relating this to the extraordinary story of the plants’ evolution. Tales are told of mythical figures, intrepid collectors and eccentric plant breeders. More than a thousand species exist, ranging from rugged trees on Himalayan slopes to rock-hugging alpines. However much you know about rhododendrons, this book will tell you something new.
