Tropica
Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature
Tropica by A.B. Graf is a lush, first-edition hardcover that serious gardeners and plant lovers reach for when they want to identify tropical and indoor exotics. Every spread bursts with full-color plates that make identifying palms, bromeliads, and orchids feel like a walk through a private greenhouse.
Published by Roehrs, this oversized reference belongs on the potting bench as much as the coffee table. Besides the vivid illustrations, Graf packs concise cultural notes on soil, light, and propagation, giving hobbyists and landscape pros a quick answer when a prized specimen wilts.
Because it is a 1st printing, collectors prize Tropica for documenting mid-century horticulture. The heavy, stitched binding holds up to repeated paging while the generous margins invite sticky notes for personal observations.
This copy shows cover scuffs and early-page foxing, yet the interior plates remain bright and unmarked. It is an affordable way to add a classic botany reference to your gardening library without the pristine-copy price.
