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.
