The first horticultural monograph on the Boraginaceae. With the increasing popularity of pulmonarias...it is time that a study appeared.

Serious plantspeople will treasure this book... It is the only book available on the subject.

Tribute to the Borage Family
This is such a great reference book i am continually referring to it as i love the plants from the borage family and am trying to collect as many as i can for my garden, it has a large section on pulmonarias which every gardener should have and the more unusual members of the family like arnebia and moltkia, the only downside is there arent enough pictures (there are a lot) but i wouldve added a few more of the rarer plants, overall a fab item to own well done Masha Bennett!
