While typical gardens are planned for the heat of the day, it is the quiet, relaxed evening hours when most of us have the leisure to sit down & enjoy the rewards of our planting, weeding & watering efforts. Unfortunately, the beauty of the conventional garden is all but obscured by darkness. This book helps you create a garden (or add touches to an existing garden) that comes to life when the sun goes down. Covers more than 150 plant species. Sections include: walls, fences, paths; night-blooming flowers; fragrant plants; plants with silver foliage; ornamental & perennial grasses; how to light an evening garden; & much more. Over 100 full-color photos.

<p>Why are tropical birds like parrots &amp; quetzels so much more colorful than birds of temperate lands? How can a vulture soaring thousands of feet above the canopy spot a dead rodent no bigger than a mouse on the rainforest floor? What permits sparrow-sized antbirds to thrive among hordes of army ants that devour every other living thing in their path? Hilty has led birding tours to the American Tropics for over 20 years. By providing answers to the hundreds of questions asked by participants of these expeditions, he has produced a natural history of the bird life of the New World Tropics that is as practical, accurate &amp; fascinating as the species it reveals.</p>
