"These were not twiggy herbs but plants with substance, weight, curves, and shadows that impacted the mind like great abstract sculptures. They suggested alien life forms, flying saucers, flesh, intertwined bodies, amorphous beasts, crystalline structures, rock, lava, monoliths."
"They are so unlike the stereotypes of plant forms that, for the inexperienced, attending an annual cactus and succulent show for the first time is like being introduced to an alien world. The terms 'otherworldly', 'out of a science fiction movie', and 'lunar' are regularly applied when describing these plants as well as some of
the landscapes they inhabit. No other group quite compares in the long-term artistic and aesthetic rewards provided from growing these species."

Pachyforms is a complete guide to the selection and cultivation of the increasingly popular group of plants known as  caudiciforms and pachycauls, species that develop thick bodies with sculptural forms. In Pachyforms, you will find information that will allow you to grow some of the most impressive plants in the world: baobabs and boojum trees; members of the passionflower family with bodies as large and wide as a witch's cauldron; species in the cucumber family that acquire the form of flying saucers; yams with complex geometric forms; morning glories with gorgeous flowers and egg-shaped weathered bodies...
This new updated edition of Pachyforms is illustrated with
more than 680 color photographs and packed with practical advice, including cultivation notes on more than 180 species.

Sweet Simple Book
Format: Board book
I gave this to parents who are going to start reading to their baby before she is born. It's great for that and for early readers. The illustrations are very nice. I'm pleased with the book.

Bought this as a surprise for my husband, it was not a disappointment.
This is one of the most touchingly sweet books I've ever seen and allows the reader (Dad), to reaffirm his bond and his love every night at bedtime (or anytime really) in a way that not only educates the child, entertains the child, but forms lasting memories for the child. It's the perfect pre-bedtime story, and its great with my 6 month old already. I waited until my husband arrived home from work to make sure he agreed with my assessment, and he actually used the word perfect when describing it. My husband is not an overly emotional man so that says a lot. I even suggested to my husband that we keep this book in very good condition, and when our son has a little one, pass it on to him. It's that amazing!
