Does anyone else share my addiction for purple flowers and
purple/black foliage? If so, you might enjoy a book I've just
acquired.

It's called Black Magic and Purple Passion ISBN 09545764-2-X, author
Karen Platt.
2750 dark plants and 425 colour photographs, excellent for drooling
and
reference.

Janet.

How much is it, Janet? Do you know the publisher?

16.99 UK pounds, published by Black Tulip . I think this is her own
private publishing company; anyway it's beautifully produced. Have just
realised she did most of the gorgeous photography herself.

Available online from www.karenplatt.co.uk or www.blackplants.co.uk

I much prefer to see books before buying but couldn't find it in stock
at any of the big bookshops in Glasgow. However while I was spending a
happy day there trawling bookshops, Ottakars offered to order one and
post it out (arrived in 5 days, with charming note from the shop
assistant, big pat on back to Ottakars for great service).

Janet.

Thanks for that info., Janet. It seems a reasonable price. I shall browse
it properly next time I'm at Wisley, but I think it's one for my bookshelf.
Regards,
Spider
