Bromeliads for the Contemporary Garden by Andrew Steens brings Australia’s favourite exotic bromeliads into modern backyards with 2003-era flair. This 198-page illustrated paperback from Florilegium pairs clear cultural notes on light, water and soil with bold design ideas perfect for today’s minimalist plots.

Every photo and diagram steers hobbyists toward success whether potting up a single Guzmania or mass-planting a sculptural bed. The language stays friendly to young adults yet detailed enough for seasoned collectors seeking a quick reference on propagation and pest control.

The copy is clean, tight and unmarked—no smoke, no dog-ears, just gentle page yellowing honest to its two-decade life. A rare spot on one leaf hardly distracts from the crisp, colourful plates that make identification effortless.

Slip this scarce 2003 first edition into your gardening library and enjoy Steens’ contemporary vision every time you reach for the watering can.
